sixteenth [Taxi driver edition]

Me: Hey, you gonna go to xx road?
Taxi Driver: Yeah, get in. [motions with hand]
Me: Thanks a lot
(Driver is pretty cool dude, old Chinese man with a ballin' beard, it's all wispy and shit)
Taxi Driver: Hey, don't thank me. Look at this shit...it's hard finding customers
Me: Really?
Taxi Driver: Yeah, they can tell you all this shit, but us taxi drivers...we know the truth. It gets reflected in our work...the economy is shit right now.
Me: Dayumnn.
Taxi Driver: Yeah, look at this damned street. Not a single customer. You see all those taxis with the light on? We call it Dung Loong (Lanterns). This street is full of lanterns.
[more talk about how the economy sucks and mainland Chinese are screwing us over]
Me: It must be pretty tough.
Taxi Driver: hell yeah.
