this waiter had seen a chance to stiff a bunch of Americans, and had given us
the menus (that they obviously had prepared for situations where tourists
come in) that had all of the prices about double from the normal prices.

If this little intermezzo impresses you, then you haven't travelled very far
in the world on your own. The only thing that surprizes me in that story is
that it has happened in Germany.

Give me the name of just one restaurant in the US that has a foreigner menu with
double pricing. Just one.
