We have left parcels in Bluebird taxi's (we also only catch Bluebirds these days) on two occasions and both times we have had them returned. The first time it was some of our shopping which we'd forgotten was in the boot; the second time it was our new digital camera on the bakc seat! Though, I must admit that there's some fun to be had in catching taxi's other than Bluebird.... We once wanted a taxi to get back from Discovery to Febri's as one of our daughters had fallen asleep whilst we were at dinner. The taxi driver told us Rp20,000, we discussed this with him good naturedly, telling him that it was at that time a Rp5,000 fare at most. We all had a laugh and kept negitiating for several minutes before deciding that Rp10,00 was a fair price. We all had another giggle after a fun, quick trip when we then paid him the Rp20,000 he had originally asked for. It was the principal, after all! Cheers, Sue.
