  • The safer way to get to the city from the airport is to go outside and go stra8 to the small office for the prepaid taxi. You simply go there, tell to the man where you do want to go and you pay immediately. Then he will give you the receipt with the numebr of the taxi and he will drive you to the final destination.

    It is very simple and moreover you will not fall in trouble with huge ammounts to pay to the taxi driver.. ):-

  • If there is one thing you have to learn as quick as possible is this: Bargain! Regaurding whatever, from stuff, to food, to drinks to also the Guesthouses. When somebody is asking 100, you gotta pay not more then 30!
    There are only few items that has a fix prices, like BIRI, which costs 5Rs!!!
    Reguarding tghe GH you should not ask for the 30% of the inquiry, but for sure go down to the first price called by the owner.

  • Once you would need the service of an agency, for example to book a train ticket or whatever, before to agree for somehting, ask them which is the % or value of their services.
    So, before to confirm something, bergain also about the provvision!!!!
    Provvison are also on reguarding the shops, if somebody bring you there, it means that the seller will pay to theis person a commison on the things you are buying, therefore the final price will be higher! Try to avoid it!!

    General Warnings: Take care once buying a bus ticket

  • It happends a very strange thing to me.
    I book a bus ticket for the route and I paid normally the rate.
    Once we were dropping on the bus, the man told us “you do have to pay for looking forward your bags”…and what tha hell does it mean?!
    So, despite the normal rate they will ask you for some Rupee for looking forward your bags…When this will happen, DO NOT pay anything and go stra8 to the manager, he will settle the matter…
