It never really bothered me as I was expecting it, but it's interesting to think about in light of this conversation.

LOL it's called tourism. Tourists are charged higher prices everywhere. When you don't know how to speak the local language and are from a foreign country, locals will try to make money off of you. And you were surprised!?
