You know you hate your cab driver. You know that they are always trying their best to put one over you. But you should drive a mile in their tires before you judge them. Anyone who works for a taxi service starts their day at a loss. They have to pay their contractor at least $100 a day to rent their cab. And it will be four or five hours of driving fares around before they even break even. It's only after that that they begin to make enough money for breakfast.

There are lots of things about taxi service operators to dislike. But you do need to be fair in your criticism. To any cab driver, every day can be a struggle to make enough money to pay cab rent. But sometimes, what they do can be totally unfair.

There's this particular nasty trick that taxi service operators in Asia use that's actually showing up in gypsy cabs over here. They will helpfully offer to place your luggage in the trunk.

Basically, in places like India that are completely unregulated, they can get away with practically anything.

What do you call the largest, the grandest and the craziest party in America? You call it the New Orleans Mardi Gras, of course. With a lineup of energetic late-night parties, street parades, masked balls and outright hedonism that could rival Rio's Carnaval, New Orleans is a destination for everyone who's either young or who would like to revisit their use.

If you want to visit the New Orleans Mardi Gras to find out what it is like to really be yourself again, you could be worried about how much it can end up costing you. After all, when there is as much alcohol passing through your system as there is likely to be at a Mardi Gras festival, you will find yourself being far more careless with your money than you ever would if you were sober. Well, if you choose the right game plan for your New Orleans visit, you won't really have to worry.
