Can't you follow directions.

I had a few meetings initially arranged, but none were materializing. Finally there was some potential, the lady at the UNDP directed me to the ministry of education for a meeting. The security gave the taxi driver directions and he assured him he understood everything and took off. I discovered later that he had no clue where he was going. I actually had to give him directions, that were extremely useful to him despite I had no clue about the city. I guess my fancying taxi drivers has taken a great setback through this experience.
