Scamming Cabs?
Taxi to Beijing airport from hotel normally CYN 120 or thereabouts.
Cabby that picked us up - very friendly , offered us cigarettes, even a bottle of beer.
Then I noticed that his 'meter' was whizzing round and when we got there he parked well away from the taxi rank and announced the fare was CYN 650...
Realising he was pulling a very fast one and trying to avoid the officials at the cab rank (probally an llegal cab) I shoved him 150 - and he ran off without complaint!
