127 A Shocking Experience
Taking a taxi in a certain Eastern European country can be a shocking experience. It is said that some

ridiculous fares they charge. Some drivers charge as much as ten times the legal fare. They have a secret
switch which makes the meters run faster. If you refuse to pay, you are really in for a shock.
In one case,a German woman had no choice but to pay US$120 for a US$20 ride from the airport. She said
