What scams have you been subject to?
Just got a taxi (dumb move already) back to my hostel from Gare du Nord in Bucharest. Should be a roughly 20lei ride; this absolute scam artist of a driver tells me, "334 lei. Different rate for train station".
Luckily, I had taken an uber there in the morning (and even though, sure, uber is cheaper), and had it on good authority from hostel staff it should cost 20lei or thereabouts. I argued with him up and down, told him his meter wasn't going, he gave me no receipt which was super illegal, and gave him 24lei and told him to fuck off.
Helps to be wise to the common scams - even when it's the middle of winter and you're feeling somewhat safe about there being few scammers about. And also, a good touch of the Kiwi bluntness goes a long way
