I like the sound of that, Phillip I'm going to have to ask you to hit up your local precinct for a monthly donation. Bicho if I knew I was staying longer then I'd buy a bike. Although I'm not sure I would ride it that far as I'd fear for my life. You can't really bargain with official taxis. They have a meter and you pretty much have to pay that. At least that's what everyone tells me. There are unofficial taxis (which amounts to strange guys in vans) farther into the city proper and you can bargain with them. 680949@blogcritics.org Mon, 17 Dec 2007 19:20:59 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/12/17/100153.php#comment-680932 You mean you don't get around on a bicycle? Also, you should be inquiring how much a ride is and haggle with them before you get in. When your driver rolled down the window, he wasn't asking for directions. He was telling his buddy that drinks were on him when the shift ended because he had just hit the lottery with his American passengers. 680932@blogcritics.org Mon, 17 Dec 2007 18:06:10 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/12/17/100153.php#comment-680896 You'll turn into a missionary yet! Spreading the good news of cooperative traffic laws... 680896@blogcritics.org Mon, 17 Dec 2007 16:18:48 EST
