Comparison

They said that we weren't allowed to take public transportation in Algiers because "The taxi drivers might rip us off." It is nice of them to be so concerned with our financial well-being. However considering that we weren't allowed to leave the Hilton:

Cafe au lait and croissant at Hilton: $10
Cafe au lait and croissant at airport: 75 cents

Dinner at Hilton: $35
Dinner at the kebab place down the street: $7

Mint tea at Algiers Hilton: $5
Mint tea at the kebab place down the street: 25 cents
