Sightseeing in Isa Town - what to see. Complete travel guide

Some might even try to overcharge clients. That is why tourists should check the total and the change carefully everywhere in the town – in banks, restaurants, cafes, and hotels. In case of conflicts any mention of the police, attempts to call the police or visit a police office work as a cold shower. The staff immediately remembers that they forgot to give the change or overcharged clients.
2. When using taxi services, don’t forget to check that the taxi driver has the meter on. Local taxi drivers often “forget” to turn the meter on. Your actions should be the same – simply mention the police.
