Couple of month ago I have posted some hints on how to get along in a mega-city like Beijing without really speaking Chinese: How to…Beijing Taxi Guide.
Others are also concerned with this topic, demonstrating that potential weird experiences are (mostly but) not only confined to foreigners.
Take a look at Keoni Everington´s post at The World Of Chinese How to pass your next taxi audition!
“Based on years of humiliating denials, I’ve created a list of common reasons why cabbies blow off would-be customers.” Audition point deduction may be for example: Being a foreigner. Being old. Being disabled. Having a child. Being in a group of 4 or more. Carrying luggage. You will also find “Tips to Pass Your Audition”.
A story of such an importance that even China Daily Europe featured it recently 🙂

Have you ever thought about writing an ebook or guest authoring on other blogs?
I have a blog based upon on the same information you
discuss and would really like to have you share some stories/information. I know my readers would value your work.
If you’re even remotely interested, feel free to shoot me an e-mail.

Nice post. I learn something new and challenging on sites I stumbleupon every
day. It will always be helpful to read through content from other writers
and practice a little something from their
sites.

You actually make it seem really easy together with your presentation however
I find this matter to be really one thing which I think
I might never understand. It seems too complex and extremely extensive for me.
I’m taking a look forward for your next put up, I will attempt to
get the cling of it!
