So we're in the store where you an haggle down prices of clothes and whatnot and just try your best to deal with the vendors. I like this style because I can play with the minds of the vendors at first because they can't tell what my nationality is. As a matter of fact, they go through 3 different languages, 5 different dialects, until finally trying to speak Korean to me, by the time they reach that point, they feel embarrassed for being unable to recognize their own people that they start at a significantly lower price because they think that they might have offended me.
They didn't. I mean nobody can ever tell what I am, Chinese, Viet, Thai, Japanese, and because I'm "dark" skinned, sometimes even Filipino. I find it fun to watch because my surname doesn't help very much either.
In any case, just thought I'd post that. I definitely will have a TON of pictures tonight though.
