I definitely could have paid less than I did on the occasion I described in this post, but it is not an appalling rip-off. Here's an appalling rip-off for you: I was quoted 50,000 VND for a taxi ride of no more than two kilometres, when the fare up to one kilometre is around 9,000 VND and the per-kilometre fare below 21 km is no more than 11,500 VND for any taxi company. I (and my parents, who came to Hanoi! Wahoo!) walked, not before letting the driver know that his price was nothing but a steaming pile of vớ vẩn.jpatlikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07061034048371095970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8222126662679213867.post-91100133595031280182010-06-29T07:17:51.947-07:002010-06-29T07:17:51.947-07:00Ah!
