[quote=GUEST01793,402873]I just went to ZhuJiaJiao, the little water village close to Shanghai, there we went to lunch in one of those dinky little restaurants in the town. Six dishes later, we got a bill for 658 rmb. Shocked and surprised I went and looked at the English menu and the Chinese menu, only to find out the prices were different(thankfully the English menu had the chinese names next to it). Then we found out that the Mandarin fish we ordered didn't have a price which meant the people thought it was fine to charge 338 rmb for one tiny fish. We paid the meal, angry and causing a minor scene, and went straight to the tourist center. There we complained about the pricing and took the tourist police to the restaurant where after a bit of arguing they gave us some money back after admitting they charged more because we were westerners. We still got ripped off but at least we got some money back and hopefully they think twice before they overcharge westerners.[/quote]
