[quote=WANHU,335788]My friends and I hailed a taxi near Beijing Lu, GZ for Humen, Dongguan. The guide, whom I consider and treat like my own family, was not familiar with the fare, but the driver asked 250RMB for 4 persons. After 5 minutes of travelling we were stopped by some police officers armed with video cameras. They asked me, and not my guide, in Chinese about the fare. Well, I may look like a Chinese but I can't speak Putong hua nor any other Chinese dialects (only understand a little bit of Hokkien or Minnan hua). Two officers with two video cameras interviewed and recorded our statements. One of my friends said to me jokingly, "hey Wan, maybe we are under: "You Asked For It" programme!" The taxi driver was taken away and one officer stopped a taxi for us. The new driver charged us160RMB to a hotel in Humen, not far from the Taiping bus station. Well indeed, he (the first taxi driver) asked for it.[/quote]
