I do have a few experiences in Indonesia. Or is it only for South Korea? :-)

Just South Korea I'm afraid, but thanks for letting me know! If you know anyone that has had any experiences, feel free to get them in touch.

All the taxi drivers that I've met are super nice here inUlsan. They even taught me some Koreans  :-)
But yes, I will ask the others :-)

Thanks!

The ripoff by taxi happens very common in very country. No doubt about that.

Did you make a "deal" with the driver instead of using taximeter?

yes...in Korea I had bad experience with taxi drivers. some old guys were rude, and knowing me a foreigner, they did not even bother to help me carry my luggage onto the backseat and inside the cab...they let me do myself. I was desperate for a taxi, so I had to do it anyway.

Yes, I got on the last train for the day once and the subway's last stop was at Guro-yeok. That was just one station away from where I was supposed to get off. I could have walked to my  station but I didn't know the way so I took a taxi thinking that it won't be that expensive.  But the driver charged KRW20,000 instead! argh!
