Recently I flew into Almaty, Kazakhstan. I couldn't get the local ride hailing app to work so I was forced to use an airport taxi. When I got to the destination the taxi tried to overcharge me 10x the price (he wanted $50 usd equivalent for a 10 minute ride instead of the $3-$5 that is normal). Knowing I have my bag in hand (and not in the trunk) and can just walk at any moment is a very empowering when arguing over the price.

Oh by the way, it's very therapeutic to curse out a scammer

Im asking since they were quoting 200k which seems high. It ended up being 130k with a lot of arguing
