TUC TUC

I'd organised a tuc tuc driver (from yesterday) to bring me through to the station at a predetermined amount of 80 rupees.(Gucci the hotel owner reckoned this was far too much for the 2 km trip?)

Sure enough,at 8:15 this morning he was outside the hotel door waiting.

He took me through and I hand him 100 rupees and tell him to keep it.The guy was so grateful for this extra pittance (10 rupees is R2) and broke out into an incredulous smile and thanked me profusely.

I think that sometimes,when overseas we kinda get stuck into attempting to get the best price without considering the minimal impact on our pockets from our relatively privileged perspective.

I mean that trip with my luggage cost me just R23 and could've been had for around half that .

But what the hell impact does a rand or two make to me either way ?
