Not knowing how to bribe when it becomes the last way out! It's a trap of a very different kind.......
It actually took some time until it dawned upon me what was meant by 'matabich' a slang for bribe. Leave a Comment

I was peacefully walking very near the memling hotel,when a guy came to me and said:'heey how are you,do you recognize me? I am in charge of your luggage at the hotel;I can arrange a quick check in for you at the airport if you pay me a drink';
in fact,this guy was in charge of nothing,he just saw a white guy in the street and thought I would be scared to loose my luggage

many people will recognize you in the street ,saying:hello,how are you?
THEY ONLY WANT YOUR MONEY,and they have never seen you before;remember that an honest african will never speak to an european in the street!
gentlemen,be very careful with women,as I heard terrible stories;some young ladies come to speak to you in a restaurant or a bar,they begin to do to you some naughty things like touching(or worse under the table) your ####,then they say:now give me 100 $!!they won't give up until you pay!!

There are no official taxis. Every taxi is just a private car waiting for customers. Never take a "taxi" at the airport. It may bring you elsewhere and the chance of loosing everything is high. To reassure: just wait half an hour in the lobby of one of the big hotels. No one will call for a taxi, everyone will be picked up by a friend or another reliable person he/she called for.
I once took a taxi (type "collectivo" together with a congolese friend in day time. No problem: you just tell the place you want to go and the taxidriver takes the best tour to serve all his clients. The price is very fine. Leave a Comment
