A bargain at twice the price
Getting occasionally ripped off is the cost of traveling through this world without worries. It's worth every penny.
When you are traveling, you will occasionally get ripped off.
You don't know the customs. You have too little context for a solid foundation of trust. You have nothing to compare to. You are stepping into the unknown, and some people will take advantage of that.
A small betrayal is not something to be upset about.
It's part of a time-honored tradition. The world works this way.
It's the cost of traveling through this world without worries.
It's worth every penny. Pay it gladly.
