It’s also amazing how honest most people are, when it would be easy to cheat you. When we landed in Madrid, Spain, on our first overseas trip, we were jet-lagged and in no condition to haggle. The Euro is simple (at the time, it was about equal to a U.S. dollar). We took a cab from the airport to the bus terminal and inquired as to the rate, time, etc. for a trip to Trujillo, Spain, some three hours away. The teller told us the amount. I handed over a bunch of bills and soon learned that the amount quoted to us was for BOTH of us. I was about to pay double. It would have been easy for the ticket seller to keep the full amount and chalk it up to a dumb American.
Watch those kroners, Diego!
