Tokyo Cab Reaches NY from Argentina, Meter Running
<snip>

NEW YORK (Reuters) - When Japanese actor Gitan Otsuro climbed out of his cab in New York City on Friday, the meter showed more than 6 million yen ($58,000) -- but he's not planning to pay the fare.

The three-month, 20,000-mile trek from Patagonia in the Tokyo taxi was sponsored by a Japanese TV station which is making a travel documentary about it.

The taxi, with Tokyo cab driver Tsuyoshi Sakuma, 66, at the wheel, passed through 11 countries and was welcomed at its New York destination by an honor guard of the city's yellow cabs.

1. Two of my mom's brothers are cabbies in Tokyo.
They own their own cabs and make a fine living.
