HOW TO CALCULATE THE RIGHT PRICES OF THE COUNTRY VISITED AND HOW TO BARGAIN

There are some imported goods that have more or less the same prices everywhere or different ones due to duties, but if they are local products it is necessary to know the average value of wages and salaries and the cost of living, For example, if the average salary of a country visited is around 150 dollars or euros, it means that local prices should be about a tenth of ours and when they offer them to you in half, you think you're getting a bargain while you're overpaying. When I visited Cuba in 2001-2-3 a good salary was 10 dollars which for us was nothing but for them it was a month's salary and you had to take that into account. Always in Cuba street beer costs very little and the next day you have a headache, instead good bottled beer can cost as in us and be 150 times more expensive than us for a Cuban (10 euro salary against 1500) while the local rum, a cheap spirit, made in illegal cellars with rubbish, breaks stomachs and livers but they drink it by hectoliters much more than beer, moreover it is the spirit that does not provide heat, on the other hand it makes the pee very yellow so at first you get scared and think you have poisoned yourself and instead it's normal, a mojito at the Boteguita del Medio (Havana bar frequented by Hemingway in the 50s cost 5 dollars, half the Cuban salary, but if you want to drink it in that particular place you have to pay that price, in a different bar maybe you pay a dollar ) Cuban authorities generally try to charge international prices to tourists and keep Cubans separate from foreign guests
