Hello, I would like to go downtown. Would you please tell me how to get there? I have a large baggage. Do you have any recommendation of transportation?

Hello, I would like to go downtown. Would you please tell me how to get there? I have some large baggage. What form of transportation do you recommend I take?

Of course no problem. How many bags do you have to carry? If you have a lot of luggage I recommend hailing a taxi. If you don't have too much too carry then I think it's best to go on the bus or train.

A taxi is good. Do you happen to know how much the cost is?

#correct

A taxi sounds good. Do you happen to know how much it costs?

Well where do you want to go? The taxi has a taxi meter that charges you by the distance of your destination. The farther it is, the more expensive it will be.

My destination is Hilton Downtown.

#correct

My destination is the Hilton Downtown.

 That will probably cost you 10 dollars. I will hail the cab for you, don't worry I've got your bags. How long are you in town for?

Thank you. I am a stranger here. I will stay here for three days. I am going to attend an international conference in the hotel. I am looking forward to meeting new people. Anyway, could you please tell me tipping system for a taxi driver? I am not familiar with the system in this country.

For taxi drivers there is no tipping system. If you are going out to eat out at a restaurant the tipping system is 15% of your check.

I see. Thank you. Tipping is difficult for me. I always need to ask local people about the system. Tipping system depends on countries. In fact, there is no tipping system in Japan, my country. When I used a taxi in the US and paid without tipping, the taxi driver got angry. I want to avoid the same situation here.
