How to bargain in Asia?
Answer
Where appropriate: markets, street vendors, souvenirs, transportation without a meter. Where not: supermarkets, restaurants with menus, official taxis. Tactics: start with 30-50% of the quoted price, bargain friendly with a smile, be ready to walk away (they often stop you), do not bargain if you are not ready to buy. Fair price — usually 50-70% of the initial offer.
