It fucking floors me every time I read stuff on travel that’s usually written by westerners (not necessarily anglos, though I am unfortunately one) on some poorer places, and people write about how to avoid scams and avoid overpaying, but then you run the conversion to the local currency and it’s like a fucking dollar at the most. Absolutely no skin off the traveler’s back, but can mean a good day’s wages for whoever’s involved. Fucking wild.
