For short trips within Nagoya, max 10K day time, night time maybe 15K. There are alot more locals using taxi, and the taxi drivers know they can only chop "tourist", esp those looking for a good time for 2-3 days and can't be bothered with taxi fares. Well, if that's what one is thinking, then don't bother about prices and just enjoy your trip. But if want to enjoy the trip, please try not to feed those blood suckers too much till it all went into their heads. What makes the cewek think they MUST get tips, and MUST get the amount they want? It is all because many of the customers just let them have their way, and MADE it that way. If I book a cewek, and she is just not up to par for me to book her again, would I be bothered to satisfy her BIG tips? She can tell me how much her other abangs gave her. For all I care is how she performed, I will tip her according to that. If she really sucks, and give me that kind of attitude at the end of the day, I will just tell her get lost.

Nicely said... must be firm with them... if give in often... a lot of brurs going to get chopped to little pieces... hard to bargain... prices all up... shorten trip due to low rupiah... haha...
