Yes! The trick is learning the local language and then bargaining even as a foreigner. 🤓 but then it also depends on how fair the price the seller quoted.

When I was traveling, I would learn, at least, numbers and please and thank you in the local language or languages. Sometimes people would laugh at me for doing it wrong, but it helped when haggling. People do appreciate a please and thank you in their language, even if done wrong.

sharing this from my notebook 👀
Starting with how to say hello and bye, then food.
  • how to order from restaurants
  • how to buy things from the local market ( number and money )
  • asking or explaining for directions
  • learn self-introduction
    • where are you from
    • What do you do
    • why did you come here
Haggling's a big part of the culture in some countries, especially in North Africa and the Middle East.
