Ripped off

When tourists like me from developed countries go to countries less developed where you have to bargain, they complain that they get ripped off. I don't mind so much, in Australia I'm probably getting 'ripped off' anyway. The opposite can happen. I met a Nepalese guy who came to Australia to study hospitality. He went to a private college. It wasn't cheap and the course was terrible. He later found that the government had blacklisted this college which I imagine meant that it wasn't up to the required standard. The college closed and he didn't get any qualification even after paying quite a bit of money.
