    Honestly I went to Prague once many years ago. My experience was littered with people constantly trying to scam me, it even felt like officials of the city (cops, traffic controllers, museum people) were in on it too. It left a sour taste in my mouth and I have never returned. What you're doing is really important work, because I am not the only person who has experiences like these, and despite how lovely Prague was: interactions like these will put tourists off. So keep it up.
