I can't forget that time when a London taxi driver made a killing with me by in an unexpected city tour. I took a taxi at Victoria Station and told the driver to take me to Kennington tube station. I'm not a native English speaker, and the guy understood Canning Town, which is located approximately at the other side of the city, so I had to point it out on his map and cross the city again.

Once the same happened to me in Shanghai, but the Taxi driver insisted it was his mistake for not understanding my bad pronunciation and stopped the counter...
