Negotiations

Buying goods (at the market or local store) is an exercise in negotiation, and foreigners often get a price that is 2-3 times the normal price.
You must bargain or you'll be broke, but don't expect to get the appropriate price all the time or you'll go mad. A few minutes of haggling will save you a bit of cash.
It’s acceptable to walk away to get a better price or consult with several shops. Remain generally calm, but feel free to show shock or indignation at high prices.
Avoid bargaining at restaurants or nice shops.
