Getting ripped off sucks...

and in Vietnam it appears to be a daily ritual. No matter what the item is, if the prices are not posted Westerner's are charged double or triple what the locals pay. Water for locals is 6.000 VND and for Westerners it's 10.000-15.000. Pedicures for locals are 30.000 and 90.000 for Westerners. Taxi's are 5 usd for locals and $10-15 for Westerners... I know, it's only a matter of a few bucks. Why am I complaining? It's not the money, it's the principle.
