It felt like everyone that we met was ultimately on a mission to get their hands on some of our dirty Western money. Some of these grifters, as we call them, are really smart, and they will often make friends with you but then try to sell you things that you don't really want. In certain places, especially, for example, just outside the airport, it can be very intense and overwhelming. You feel strongly obliged to give them money, paying prices which you're sure are too high, but that you're not really aware of how much you're being ripped off. That's how it feels anyway.
