点评:My wife and I wanted to take a raft with our 17 year old son. The staff at the main office told us they could not allow this as it would invalidate their insurance. There were many unofficial raft practitioners hanging around outside and they offered to take us all for the same price (90$) quoted by the officials. We decided to accept the offer from the unlicensed company as we wanted to experience the trip collectively as a family.
The trip was nice but the guy steering the raft was a little cheesy at times and kept telling us that he had 4 kids to feed. When we got to the end of the river, he suddenly switched on us and said that we owed him 160$ for the trip and 3500 jamaican $ for taking our car to the finishing point.
I told him that those tactics were dishonest and they should have been up front with us at the time.
The moral of the story is, don't get drawn in by the sweet talking bullsh*t merchants, take the official option otherwise you will get ripped off and it doesn't matter how pleasant a trip down the river might be, there's nothing worse than knowing that you've been duped.
翻译:我和我的妻子想和我们 17 岁的儿子一起乘木筏。总公司的工作人员告诉我们,他们不能允许这样做,因为这会使他们的保险失效。有很多非官方的木筏练习者在外面闲逛,他们提出以官方报出的相同价格(90美元)带我们一起去。我们决定接受无证公司的提议,因为我们想全家一起体验这次旅行。
这次旅行很愉快,但驾驶木筏的那个人有时有点俗气,一直告诉我们他有 4 个孩子要喂养。当我们到达河的尽头时,他突然对我们说,我们欠他 160 美元的行程费用和 3500 牙买加美元的费用,因为我们要把车开到终点。
我告诉他这些策略是不诚实的,他们当时就应该坦率地告诉我们。
这个故事的寓意是,不要被那些甜言蜜语的废话商人所吸引,选择官方的选项,否则你就会被骗,无论顺流而下的旅行有多愉快,都没有什么比知道自己被骗了更糟糕。
