My husband and I were going from the domestic terminal to the international (before the bus to/fro was privatized) and took a taxi. The taxi driver took our Rs. 500 note and on the sly "replaced" it in his hand with a Rs. 100 note, hoping that in the dark taxi, we wouldn't take notice and just think we had made a mistake. He then told us that we didn't pay him enough. Thankfully, we were aware of these types of scams and called him on it...and weren't fooled by him. But, like you said, so many people are. And that's a shame for a country that has so many good points! I totally know what you’re talking about with the sketchy people at the airport.

Have you never been wrapped into the "Singapore Sling" scam :-) I’m always amused at how you find time to write this stuff and even more amused about people interested in reading it.
