Hilarious and so true. I always laugh when people talk about how friendly people are in other countries not their own. Of course they are friendly, they want your money. The Tuk Tuk drivers here in Bangkok are awesomely friendly and nice....aside from the fact that they are constantly trying to rip you off but you are too naive to know better. The large majority of people never venture off of the tourist track, so they just deal with people are are paid to be nice to them.

"Brazil is just the most incredible country," Pavlik told friends Monday over lunch at Olive Garden. "The mountains, the beaches, the rainforest: It's like heaven on Earth."
