Where’s the story dude!
It’s one of the links
Not seeing it either….. am curious, as I’d add my own tales from Cancun. (where I found dealing with taxi drivers you meet randomly far, far safer and cheaper than the lying (sic) time-share vultures waiting to rip you off just as you come out of Aiport customs…. Buses even better. (if you’re traveling light)
but am curious to read whatever story you had originally posted…. somewhere.
Ah, found it, fifth link down — and gist of the story (from Korea) doesn’t match your headline — avoiding “scams” by taxis in foreign countries. Instead, focus of story is suggestion to have a hotel directions card pre-printed for taxi drivers, in advance. Good plan. (for avoiding misunderstandings)
I’d add a footnote — be very, very careful about using Google for hotel mapping. (often quite wrong — especially when the address is in a hotel zone not open to public traffic, like playa del carmen in Mexico… )
