【正确答案】Dear Anne,
I am sorry to hear about your unpleasant experience with a taxi driver. I am sure most taxi drivers in our city are decent people, kind and especially willing to help foreigners. But unfortunately, there are always a few who think too much of money. I suggest that you ask about the price before taking the taxi the next time, and make sure you only take taxis equipped with price-meters, which automatically print out receipts with detailed information including your starting point and destination as well as the exact amount paid. Remember always to ask for the receipt, so that you can easily find the taxi by a phone call, or contact its company if there is a problem Those taxies usually provide better services and charge reasonably.
Wish you a pleasant stay.
