Taxi drivers with no sense of direction

Right now I sit in a taxi after buying things for the rabbit. I hop in and inform the driver of the destination. Ok, he says.
15 seconds later he's still going the opposite direction.
I tell him "we want to go East."
"Yes, yes," he replies.
"we're going west now."
"I don't understand" is his mutterance.

Now we're on a highway and he's asking me "Where can I turn around?" This guy...

Will I ever get home? Probably...but slowly.
My solace comes from thinking "It's only 3 US dollars. And "you don't want to end up in a Chinese prison."
