I'll never cease to be amazed by human nature.
Taxi today in Manila. White meter job.
Got back to my hotel from airport golf club. Meter read 415 pesos. I peeled off 450 ($12) and offered it up. Taxi driver said "No, that meter is broken. It is 250"
I was stunned for a moment and climbed out of taxi before remembering to give him an extra 50.
My reference point being the hotel car from yesterday which was 4,000, I had thought 450 was a bargain!!
