Immediately after disembarking from the elephant ride, we walked through a row of stores which sold local handicrafts, souvenirs and clothing. The ladies could not resist picking up a few items.
As usual, we had been warned to always bargain first for whatever price offered before taking up the offer. We found this old lady with a little baby really interesting.

YK : How much is this blouse?
Lady: TB200.
YK: How about TB150?
Lady: (grinning broadly with a finger pointing to her mouth) Milk! Milk! (Then pointing to the baby at her back then signalling 4 fingers) Four! Four! No discount.
YK: (very spontaneous and raising a hand with 5 fingers) I have five! Five! Must give discount!
Lady: No! No! (Again pointing to her mouth) Milk! Milk!
Well, with her marketing skill, there was just no way the ladies had the heart to demand further discount.
