Anecdotal Evidence, Part II
Many years ago, a little after the Wawel Castle was first built, it was discovered that a dragon lived under the hill at the base of the castle. In a spectacular fight, some dude killed the dragon, and the dragon went on to become the symbol of the town. Nowadays a big Polish guy dresses up in a bright green dragon costume and introduces himself to all the people in the streets, saying hello, shaking hands, having his photo taken: the famous Krakow Dragon.
In Bangkok, he would shake your hand and then mention the $10 "hand shaking fee".
In Cuzco, he would ask you to take a photo of him with you and then mention the $10 "photo fee".
But in Krakow, he just tries to figure out what language to speak to you, and says "Hi! I'm the Krakow Dragon!"
