It is not good that you get encroached oneself or you do not mind,

"You have a lot of money, so I will charge you with foreigner's price" rip-off. Overseas this was bad, I was just fighting that I should not be playful. But is such evil being evil? There is a sense of values different from Japan. It is not even divisible by just good or bad.

Hello, this is Takuya Sudo @ Charriderman who toured the world by bicycle . At that time I was on a fine journey to money, so I acted so as not to encounter overseas even overseas. Even if you get caught, there are also large-scale behaviors if the person who pays for it is convinced. But I was different. Even though everyone wants to know, it will be a method of "I can not be blurred". Some areas needed special attention. I tried making an article on my own knowledge of such overseas shopping. On the other hand, you must be careful about "getting ugly".

◆ It is rich , "you, you are wealthy, so you pay more than others" is not acceptable for the Japanese. In the tax system and the social insurance system, there are cases where people with money pay more, but the private sector is not so. The prices above and below are based on the goods and services provided, and it does not matter who pays for it. There will be price cut negotiations at home appliances, but since the start price is specified, it will be a fair competition. Whether you have money or not, it is common sense in Japan that 100 yen of bread is sold to everyone for 100 yen.

However, there are places where this common sense of Japan does not pass. The price of one 100 yen bread is 150 yen, 200 yen, 300 yen, depending on the person. It is what we call a soaking price. A foreigner fee different from the local people will be presented due to troubles which are not unusual in traveling in developing countries. Especially the sightseeing spot where tourists gather has high risk. Taxi, tours, souvenirs, etc, which are difficult to grasp the appropriate price, need to be careful enough.

Even in order not to encounter troubled trouble, when there is no price tag, we checked the price beforehand and purchased it after consenting. About "about" (money) "this" "how much" "expensive / high price" "cheap / low price" About how to remember the local language shopping is smoother .

Also, it is important to grasp the feeling that the local currency is in Japanese yen. In China, 6 yuan is about 100 yen, 30 baht in Thailand is about 100 yen, Vietnam 200 thousand dong is about 100 yen, the numbers are completely different by country even in the same "about 100 yen". If you do not get used to the numbers in the local currency, you tend to make unexpected failures at times. In addition, let's grasp the price. Depending on the country, canned juice is 50 yen, cafeteria lunch is 200 yen, cheap accommodation is 1000 yen per night.

For shopping in these places, first check the price. And if necessary negotiate.

Paraguay's currency Guarani is also a large number of currencies.

In spring of 2016, Chinese can juice (Fanta) was about 50 yen at 2.5 yuan.

◆ By region
· Arab world (Muslim world)
There are not many bad places so far even if there is a bumpy chestnut. It is common for shops and cafeterias to respond the same regardless of locals or foreigners. However, in the Arab world, in the broad sense the Islamic world needed attention.

Especially in the Arab world, Jordan was serious. Even ordinary shops and cafeterias felt a sense of incongruity and the shopping itself was bullshit. A shop in Wadi Musa, a famous World Heritage site named Petra, was unable to do anything shopping at foreign prices as well, so it did not make any sense. Whatever sightseeing spot, if there are people who live there, there should be price for locals, but they can not be found. Jordan was struggling to shop anyway, saying that it was a strange price if you were relieved at a countryside shop that is not likely to drop by tourists away from Wadi Musa.

Wadi Musa of suffering

In a rural shop, the can juice was 0.50 dinar and the confectionery bread was 0.25 dinar. It is about 120 yen, but it was a slightly odd price from Jordan's previous shopping, local prices.

In Tunisia, barber shops at barbershops, Egypt was a bargain baker, each of which hit a foreigner price, so pay attention to the Arab world. It will come when you do it in such an extraordinary place.

Egypt is only bad rumors in the vicinity of the pyramid.

It is because there is a memory that Turkey and Iran have spoken that made it Islamic world in a broad sense. In the first place in the Islamic world there is a system of relief for the poor called Zakat (Pleasure) , it is natural for people with money to pay more, I think some people have no resistance to foreigners' prices. In fact, sandwiches confirmed at the Jordanian dining hall were bought prices, there were menus on the walls, even if there were numbers there were also stubbornly said to pay foreigners, so the value of the world is not one I was made aware of it.

Also, if you travel, I will do my utmost to Jordan from my experience. The Arab world, then the Muslim world will also be alert to some extent. While the Islamic world is worried about these foreigners' charges, there was also a teaching that the traveler would be kind and invited meals and houses over and over again. Do not forget that it is a region where god correspondence is more than salt correspondence.

About Iran, Turkey, Arab countries and Islam I learned from traveling - GIGAZINE

Although it is said that there are many nationalities in many countries, Iran, Turkey, Arab countries seemed to be fooling the oriental people, and experienced repeatedly becoming uncomfortable just walking. And if you are a foreigner you think that you can trick you, there were many things that were boring. Even if you buy a canned juice, it is natural that foreigners and local people have different prices. In Jordan who stayed until recently, I became distrustful human beings.

On the other hand, it is a fact that it is kind to a traveler. We had dinner several times in the area, and we stayed overnight at home many times. The act of trusting strange travelers and inviting them to their homes is next to danger if you change their perspective. That is why I can not forget what I took care of. After finishing the trip, there are several people who have to send a report.

· India <br> I often hear that traveling in India will change "my view of life". Because the development of the city can not catch up with the population increase, and everywhere is a chaotic situation, I think that "the world view" will change. Anyway, there are many people. I could imagine such a chaotic India, so I was pretty vigilant about getting caught before traveling.

However, Indian daily necessaries have fixed prices. I also did not need to worry about India so much. Please be aware that tours without fixed prices and souvenir shops will listen to the story of trouble.

The toothbrush is 25 rupees.

Instant soup is 10 rupees.

· China - A major Chinese smartphone manufacturer, Huawei, has issued a statement that the CFO was arrested in Canada and is "contrary to the free economic spirit". However, there are no strict regulations as in China. Google is withdrawing and I can not use Twitter or Facebook either.

In addition, foreign tourists can accommodate only limited facilities. Chinese people who have enjoyed tremendous economic development and enjoyed free travels around the world, on the other hand, we are unreasonable that foreigners visiting China can not choose accommodations freely. I think that I came up with raising the country.

Probably refusing foreigners.

I have posted about the circumstances of the budget of China in the past.

I compiled a really cheap accommodation in China that can not be mentioned in the guidebook - GIGAZINE

By the way, there was no trouble especially in shopping except for cheap hotel. However, please note that Shanghai's "tea fraud" is often heard.

· Others <br> Other besides Southeast Asia is common story, personally Cambodia was a giant gate. I hear that Vietnam is also terrible, but this is a nice memory because there was not much trouble here. In Central and South America there was nothing to worry about whether the capitalist economy is rooted or not. However, since the gap between rich and poor is intense here, worry about security is necessary.

Also, do not miss the fact that foreign tourists are suffering damage too much in Japan. For a while, Shinjuku Kabukicho's rippling bar was a big problem because even the Japanese were issuing many victims. Because Japanese people are being trapped by Japanese people, foreign tourists who do not know either the right or the left are perfect targets.

◆ Shopping by negotiation <br> When I started traveling I was pursuing local people's price in a conscientious place, but my mindset will change as I travel.

In the first place, there are no jobs in developing countries. Sales of things in those countries are easier to enter and many people gather. Does anyone who can do such profit profit? Therefore, I can not attach a price tag. I desperately try to make a profit even a little. Since it is such a world, I think now that it is natural that people will have different prices. However, this is the only reason I accept only for special shopping such as clothes, bags, electric appliances. I think whether the foreigner's price is rice in daily food and rice in the cafeteria. Also, I do not want to admit because I'm cheating because I negotiate to double the price of the local people twice as much as the local people.

A boy who sells earphones in front of India's New Delhi station. Listening to the price is 50 rupees. No, the former guest was at a price of Rs. 40 from 40 rupees. However, negotiations failed. "If so, buy it at 40 rupees, I will buy it," and a business talk approved. I was excited at this time because I understood the Hindi numbers somehow.

Ethiopia needed sneakers that only crocs had a sneaker to participate in the Dana Kil Tour. I will try to obtain it at the stalls of the street. I did not know the local language (Amharic), but the local people witnessed the scene that they are buying shoes with 180 bulls. Based on this price, I bought shoes by lowering the asking price of 250 bull to 200 bull (about 1200 yen) at another stall. I think that it was not bad shopping so far.

Conditions are attached, but accepting shopping by negotiation makes traveling easier.

There is also a world that "There is no fixed price".

◆ Do not Rotate <br> I do not want to be disheartened by a trip, but on the contrary it is not good to "get ugly". I felt better if I paid the money to pay properly.

· Lomo Saltard <br> When I entered the dining room in a small town in Peru, I had no set meal for lunch and so ordered "Lomo Saltado" written as 6 sol in the menu of the table sign . As the shopkeeper went to buy soy sauce, I waited for a while, but a dish full of beef came out.

Meanwhile in the kitchen there was a conversation that gonogogono saying "How much is LomoSaltade?" "6 Sol", "Jam, then rewrite it." Thinking that it was a foreigner, I guess I had to talk about it. But, they understand Spanish somehow and it was a duct.

As I thought, at the time of accounting I got 1 sol (about 36 yen) and it was 7 sols. I complained a bit but I paid it because it was a dish with meat as it was. I accepted it because it was a little mistake without malice.

The aunt of the shop was saying, "I have not rewrote it." However, when going to the table, it is a yellow choke by "7" of Lomo Salutard in the menu. It was too sloppy evidence. Although I was in trouble, I was able to take the foot lightly afterwards

Plate with plenty of beef.

· Exchange at <br> <br> When I arrived in Tanzania from Rwanda, I tried to exchange the remaining Rwanda Francs to Tanzanian Shilling. However, I misunderstand that the money exchange got 3600 francs even though I handed only 2600 francs. Perhaps the outstanding balance was 3600 francs Even if you launch an electronic terminal and check Excel data, only 2600 francs remain. That's why I asked my old man to calculate the correct balance "I will lose it then."

I heard that fraudsters named money exchange traders will gather when entering Tanzania from Malawi from a group of bicycle journeys. So, although the Tanzanian border was prepared, there were only money changers that could lose it, rather than getting it.

This pattern is also a shopping fishing. If you are missing please protest. Some people do intentionally as well as misunderstandings. However, there are also a lot of fishing. I usually make misunderstanding, so I will return it obediently. Such people can be happy with each other.

· Hitchhikeru : Like anpanman whose face gets wet and disappears, Charriderman gets in touch as soon as the tire becomes useless. "The tube breaks and it does not give power". I have to puncture repair. While I was driving in Africa, I had a lot of fear in the tires because I was unsuccessful in refueling. Although it was running deceptive, it punctures frequently before Lilongwe capital of Malawi. Some kind of measures were necessary in Lilongwe. Still, I will punk again. When I repaired aside as usual, some local young people gathered. I will help you. I was looking lightly whether it was killing time. But the request that I want money when all is over. No, I have not asked, I was rather disturbed and I dismissed it. It is such a troublesome thing that I feel depressed. I decided to give up self-propelled and go to the capital with hitchhiking.

Talking about the circumstances with the police check on the road stopped the small track. Viva authority. There was no problem with a bare rack equipped with a fully equipped bicycle in the boarding space. Several local people were on board as a bus bus. You can breathe the whole body on the unloaded platform. On the contrary, it comes down to weak rain. Local people who turn dumplings and round their shoulders to avoid rain. Although it was a car, it was a bit hard time. Arriving in Lilongwe, I got lost but paid a reasonable amount of money. The driver said "Money is good," but I will not go. Local people who got off in the middle also ordered money as usual. It was impossible to get on without looking at it. I received it.

Puncture repair at Lilongwe.

I ordered only episodes that showed me well, but my trip was a saving trip, so many people have taken care of me. While the sunset was over, I could not find a cheap hotel, but in a place where I was scared of camping, I was asked to ask for a tent at the side of a private house or restaurant. Sometimes I paid money and handed over my imperfections, but I basically just get on to good faith. It is not a method of being praised never. I think that many of the gratuitous kindness received in this way should be returned even if it is another form.

Regardless of domestic and overseas shopping, we want to keep in mind the exchange of money that both parties can feel comfortable, both paying and receiving.
