Life's Little Pleasure - 100-word snippet

When I was a child, I always wished the taxi rides would go on longer. But that did not happen in Saigon, capital of former Republic of Vietnam. We rarely took a taxi and never ventured outside of the small city. Now I feel my wish is fulfilled when I get on the bus in the early dawn to commute to work. Sometimes I read, but unless the book is too compelling to put down, I reserve some time to just sit and enjoy the ride. When it is cold outside and the heat is on, I feel pure bliss.
