Somewhat taxing.

As you may have gathered, I'm taken with Rio - but I've found something about the place I don't like: the taxi drivers.

They often don't know where they're going, are rude and reckless, take longer routes than necessary and don't give back change - taking a ridiculously large tip. Sometimes, they quite simply refuse to drive you to an address you've given them. If you challenge them, they get very tricky.

And I know it's Carnival, so everyone's up all hours, but the fact that last night I had to prod one of them awake at traffic lights we'd stopped at, didn't help my view.
