PICS: Cork man makes Indian taxi driver’s day with wonderful gesture

On the way there Liam, from Bandon in Cork, struck up conversation with his Indian taxi driver Shakiha. During their chat Shakiha told Liam that he’d been working in the United Arab Emirates for 14 years, sending home money to his family in India and that he had never been inside the theme park.
