[quote=DESTRUCKDOZ,248603] Taxi's. If you are heading to the remote area's or taking a taxi on a long trip, make sure your girl finds the taxi, she probably knows somebody. While I stayed in the village, I was dieing of bordom and so my group and I mentioned if we could get a taxi to do something like go to the towns nearby or the city. Our relatives there were pretty poor, most of the people in the rural area drive mopeds or bikes. But when the three taxi's that they usually use were not available, we were stuck. There are taxi's everywhere, there usually vans that can fit 10-15 people but be careful, it common that you could get robbed of all your belongings in the middle of nowhere once it is convienient for the driver or even far worse. Pretty serious about it because everybody in the village warned us of it after we tried to get one. If you come from the US, you have probably tossed something that did not taste pleasant to you and if its front of other Americans, most likely no one really cares. But if you are dining with your girls family, try to finish whatever you pick onto your bowl or buy/order. I didnt know that so people saw me as a stupid American. If they happen to serve beer at there home or if you want a beer, dont drink it out of the bottle like a 40oz even though they are the size of a wine bottle. You may be inclined to drink like four of them because they are so weak but drink it out of a cup and SHARE!!. I remember during a dinner in the village that I came in with a beer that I bought from one of the vendors so while I drank one whole bottle by myself in which my group did as well, the four other guys shared the same bottle. So you may come off as selfish if you did what I did. If you want to get sauced, its best to do it ALONE. [/quote]
