tourist on Jl Legian on her way to Kuta Square.
He saw the Japanese tourists trying to hail one and quickly pulled over and ushered my sister out.
Luckily 1. she was in a good mood. 2. It was only the second day of her first trip back to Bali for 20+ years and didnt really mind the extra walk to check out old familiar land marks.
Also a Light blue taxi took us to Geneva - he was a *** hole.
The story goes something like this.
We stopped the journey at Geneva and the meter kept running as I counted out the fare for him. He said "no look this how much" - pointing to meter. As I got the extra out with a complaint- meter stilling running - he wanted more again.
Well I just then stuck with the original fare as shown on the meter when we pulled up. I said this is the fare and dont try and rip me off !!
Got out real quick. Him abusing me.
