You must visit Southeast Asia more often. Here, bargaining is a way of life. In fact, the customer is king early in the morning because some stallholders are superstitious n need to convert the first “browser” of the day to a paying customer.

When I was a poor college student, I absolutely adored negotiating. The fast n furious turn-taking - so fun!

These days, not so much. I would be distracted by the amount of extra time I have to spend on haggling.

I’m still not good at negotiating my pay though haha
