Watch out for the bogus restaurant reviews here, the ones where someone obviously has a personal axe to grind, or has been miffed by some minor flaw in service and gets all indignant, taking it as a personal affront and seeking revenge by badmouthing the place.
this question deserve a blog on its own !
here is a short list:
- taxi: safe ride: Hanoi taxi, CP taxi, or big company. The meter starts maybe higher but go slower than the small ones.
- taxi: funny, these guys never have change to give you back!!! either have always small change, or just play the game, if you show you are not in a hurry and can wait for him to get change, it suddenly found some in his very deep pocket.
- utility bills: a classic one, you will pay for your landlord or some else electricity and/or water.
- expiry date in food shop: even in popular food shops in the expat community, i found really out dated can food or other items.
i'm sure there is more but that's it for now.
If someone wants to add just copy/paste the list and add yours. that could end up being a useful list for Hanoians.
cheers
