It reminds me of how it is in the Philippines and Mexico also. I was very ready to pay what they were asking, but my nieces in the Philippines said that the prices were tagged so high because they expect buyers to haggle with them. So I did as I was told. Got money back and gave the change to my nieces. It sounds like you had a great time.<BR/><BR/>As usual, you wrote an excellent humorous post. Thanks for the laughs.<BR/><BR/>Tashatashabudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17707659728810975773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-65285435372866554102008-12-10T14:12:00.000+11:002008-12-10T14:12:00.000+11:00Omygosh!

And you find yourself wondering why the bleep you bought it. :) :) <BR/><BR/>Now, ME, I'm a VERY discerning shopper. Completely practicle, never swayed. LOLOL!!! (Riiiiight) That's why I have 8 pairs of crocs!!!! Oh gawd!! <BR/><BR/>You are more fun than twenty barrels of monkeys....And you and your daughter are sooooo lovely.
