Singapore Kopitiam Team | 06 January 2011

Meet your host, tour-guide, street historian, city spokesman, social commentator all rolled into one - the taxi driver.
Be it directions to hidden hotspots or places even locals have never heard of, it’s going to be a ride into Asia and a journey into the hypnotic myriad of colours, sounds and sights that go beyond postcard-perfect skyscrapers.

A Kolkata cabby.
Through personal anecdotes and unique insights, these taxi drivers bring out the soul of Asia’s cities, showing you how the region embraces breakneck progress hand-in-hand with a firm grasp on tradition and history.
Share the passion of the jazz-loving Tokyo cabby keen to leave his passengers with a tune. Marvel at the deft skills of Bangkok's Tuk Tuk driver. Dream along with the Macau cabby who ferries the city’s casino high-rollers. And gasp at the splendor of Nepal’s mountain view as you ride the Pokhara cross-country taxi.

A Jakarta Bajaj.
Taxi to Asia, the journey of your life.
Every Sunday, 10:30PM (SIN/HK)
