they can spot a newbie a mile away,I went in Jan. this year & took hubby ( a 5 year traveller) & he still got ripped off.....my one pet hate, they take you to the back of the shop,count it,swap money,trick you,count it again,steal it,show you again,trick you, steal it, etc.etc. WATCH all the time, use a reputable money changer from a mate at the hotel,or use the hotel reception, maybe not the highest exchange rate, but NO ripping off, enjoy your trip its all experience & please do a JBR (just back report) on your return
