We walked to the free market this morning. There is a reason it's called the free market... It's a free-for-all.... Every shop keeper screaming, "Hello.... You come in!" "cheap for you" or "give you best price!".
This is a land of the Capitalist Scalper. They will gouge and dig and scratch for your last dollar. I however am actually coming with money. Virtually unheard of with any other trip we have been on. Usually our trips go way over budget.
I hate saying anything negative, but the the people here have an ego centric moral compass. No one here in traffic would let you merge, pedestrians are canon fodder, queuing lines are just suggestions.... The aggressive move forward, the polite get trampled in the dirt or taken advantage of.
In the market I am the bargaining king. I was haggling like crazy. I pissed off a lot of people as I would go "to expensive" and slowly walk away. Hahahaha it was fun but it stresses most tourists out of their minds.
