My taxi driver on the way back to the airport was a Turkish Muslim who had lived in Pittsburgh for the past 8 years. He told me to cancel all of my other interviews because "Pittsburgh is the best place to live." We also chatted about our mutual excitement about Obama possibly being elected, how cultural differences between the East and the West impact mental health care, and he recommended a book by an Iranian philosopher, Ali Shariati, about the four prisons we all inhabit.
He also took me on a sight-seeing tour on my way to the airport at no extra charge because I "couldn't come to Pittsburgh and not go up Mount Washington."
The residency program should hire him for recruiting. He's quite convincing.
