i know, in some countries it isn't law to put the vat on the price you see in the menu,
so you get to pay the 15 % or whatever it is, the 10 % surcharge and if you leave a tip for the waiter of 10% it;s like wtf.
why is it so dear to by stuff in duty free shops as well? perfumes cigs etc, when i smoked i thought i'd get someone 200 cigs at the airport to take home cos they'rer cheap in the philippines. they charged me twice as much as i would pay on the high street.
