Warnings Or Dangers: The Dishonest Cab Driver

    • After we left the national palace museum, we wanted to take a cab back. We had taken a cab to the museum. It had cost $130 or so. There was a taxi queue outside the main entrance, so we grabbed a cab. The cabbie demanded $1300 cab fare. This was rather a shock. (For comparison, we took a cab from Taipei to Chiang Kai-shek int'l airport, which is four or five towns away, and the fare was only about $800.) We decided he was waiting for a dumb tourist. We walked a block and hailed a cab. The fare back was about $130.

     Karaoke is pronounce kah l(r)ah oh kay because it is a japanese word meaning 'tone deaf'. The correct pronunciation in the Japanese dialect is as stated above, the Taiwanese must be respectful of this, as us americans have put dipthongs into it.
