"Markku Grönroos" wrote in message . fi... "William Black" kirjoitti .. . Get a cab to Andeheri Village (which is actually deep inside the city suburbs) and you'll end up telling the cab driver exactly how to get there. I usually go to Andheri (see the correct spelling) to dine at Subway Restaurant (19.11893, 72.85120) along MV Road about 200 meters southeast from Ganpati Temple (also on MV Road). Sometimes I visit the MVLU College on Azad Road nearby (19.12164, 72.85053). Hill Rock Society please... -- William Black I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach Time for tea. |

I'll get charged say 50 roops for ride that should cost 30. The hotel gave me some ideas of the usual prices. I found the best technique was to have the right rupees in my hand and, if they seemed to want more, to walk toward the next autorickshaw or rickshaw. Suddenly the rupees in the hand became attractive. But one word no-one understood was "change". Giving a large note to a driver was assumed to be fare plus tip.

No autorickshaw driver ever has any change. -- William Black I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
