He never told us until the sandwich was in our hands. You see, when you travel for the first time, you never expect the side street vendor to rip you off like that. Here in Toronto, all the hotdog vendors have prices on their carts. That sandwich guy didnt. You want to know why? It's so he can rip people off.. That's why, I would tell everyone to stay away from these ripoff artists... Oh one more thing, back then it was the lira... so it took us a while to figure out how much we paid. LOL. After all, we had already went to UK, Netherlands, Germany, Austria before getting to Rome...
