It's the same no matter where you go: Locals hate tourists and will milk them for everything they're worth. We do it here in Reno, they do it down in Vegas and so on. Of course, you're dealing with currency exchanges too, so that will play into it a bit.

Then exchange your USD for Turkish money.

Or deposit my savings into a European Bank

Yeah, the exchange rate makes it a bad time to be spending US dollars in Europe. Or even Canada.

Perhaps you've noticed the price of imported European beer, wine and whisky have all been rising steadily. Same deal.

Ah, for the good old days of the late 90s...

I'm going for the art

not the hotels or the food.

I think I have defective taste buds when it comes to Italian food. I've eaten at expensive places, and I'm not impressed. I'd rather have the stuff from some Mom & Pop place.

I'll probably try the wine...but I'm from California and I'm a little gingoistic about our wines.

I heard that if you see a pretty girl in Italy, that it's perfectly acceptable for a man to grab her ass or boobs or grotesquely mime oral sex at her. And I heard that if the woman complains that the police will arrest her.

Truly a modern society.

If I recall my pizza history correctly, it was invented in New York, taken back to Italy by returning immigrants. There, it was "discovered" by GI's during World War II, who took it back to American where it became mainstay during the 50's.
