He had no reference - I think it was his first time out of the US. Like none of the people in here making comments have ever been ripped off. I been traveling Asia for over 15 years now and have been ripped off PLENTY (at least not robbed yet). We all learn from our mistakes - otherwise, it would be too easy.
