Relative Prices

One of the things that is most interesting to me before I land on foreign soil is how much things cost.  Most places that tourist frequent, even if they are a bit off the beaten path, tend to work with bartering.  So things can cost as much as you can be gotten for.  Many sites probably don't list prices because they can vary based on the day, the person and the hustle in question.

Despite all this I am going to try to list prices of various items as I see them by country, sometimes by city, so you can have an idea of what I had to spend.  Me, I am an okay bargainer and some of the prices are from fixed priced supermarkets and such.  I will start with Morocco before I forget too much:
