    Getting TO/AROUND: If you take a Taxi in Siagon be aware that the driver may
    -say he knows where you want to go, then driver all the way around the city because he pretends not to know where it is! We had a driver take us to the war remenants museam....what taxi driver would not know where the most frequented museum by tourists is??!??!?
    -Try and short change you. We gave the driver a 50'000 note for a 30'000 ride. First he pretended like he didn't owe us change then only gave 2'000 change hoping we would think it was a 20'000 note!!
    -They also pretend not to understand what you are saying so you try and gesture and they still act dumb, when they're clever enough to rip you off!
