we went by daewoo to get some cloth to make shalwar kurtas and what not. this daewoo thing is still safe and it's nice to have a little independence. anyway, haggling. that's such a major part of surviving here. oh, and don't speak in english. they always give you the foreigner price which is usually a 300% mark up. if you speak fast and loudly [confidence goes a long way] then you can get them to come down from the first price they say. the best part is when they say they can't bring the price down anymore and they have to ask the bossman. shoo. as if. sometimes you catch them exchanging looks. on our way back i thought it would be so cool to go in a rikshaw. it was exactly not that. but definitely an experience. 4 girls packed in the back. that thing was loud. that thing was filthy. that thing was hot. it's good to be home.
