The total for five people was about $5. She pointed at me and said $2, and pointed to the Swiss guy and said $3. He was kind of upset at paying $3 for a meal that was obviously worth about 75 cents, and thought she was ripping him off. I pointed out that nobody else had even paid, so she was simply charging us for their meals. We swore at everybody in English with smiles on our face and continued on our way. The world of small change scams is amusing for just how low the stakes are, kind of like what Henry Kissinger said about student politics (they're vicious because the stake are so low).

It makes it a little intimidating to even think of going to visit. But you said it's easier to get there from NYC? It would be cool if I ever had time/money....
