    Dipping my shoes in a roaster full of turkey grease is what I got out of it.

    Russia in general is a terrible place for that. Apart from all the museums having a special non-Russian price list, they will take the opportunity to rip you off at every opportunity. Restaurants, shops, pubs, they all seem to take pleasure in trying to rip you off. Add to that the breathtaking rudeness of the people, and you have the potential for a bad holiday.

    The city itself is amazing though.

    Still St Petersburg is my favourite place in the world by far.
    The younger people (18 - 25) are the nicest ive ever come across in any country and they have such a genuine intrest in you as a foreinger....

    Italy leads with the scamming i find, especially Rome and the trevi fountain.

    Ripped off in Laos an up river ferry, had to pit-stop halfway up and were told by a guy that where we were stopping would be in total darkness byt eh time we arrived and also that there were very few places to stay etc etc. Paid him the money for acommodation, arrived at the village on the river, in broad daylight to the worst b&b in the world probably, we all abandoned the place and had to stump up more money for a different place.

    Also, at Cambodian-Thai border, we were asked to pay $1 to a guy if we didn't have a record of all our jabs? Total tourist trap

    That's an awful Italian stereotype.......... Besides, they say "It's a me: Mario"

    Sure, just add an 'a' onto every word- perfect Italian accent...a.
