the world is way more complex than a small town

besides, using the small town analogy, where the world = a small town

the rich Russian tourist, being someone that comes from outside the small town, would have to be an alien from another planet

since an alien would not have Earth currency, he should bring to earth something Earthlings would accept as money

maybe the alien could bring to earth an asteroid made of solid gold

hehehe

(i can see gold price falling already)
