Well, this time the jube is me!!
Thought İ`d try a bit of haggling in the Kapali Carsi - the Grand Bazaar of İstanbul - only to find out that İ suck and Nunu is much better.
İ thought İ whispered to Nunu that the leather jackets looked nice, but SWOOP! The Tout came!
"Guten Tag"....(apparently Nunu looks German!)....
"hello, you want leather jacket?"
"they do look good" - stuffed it already.
We got dragged into his store and İ tried on lots of jackets, none to my Topshop-honed tastes (big cheers to Phillip).
"I have other store, you come"
We went.
"see this tag (sewn in D&G), very good, try on".
İ do - it ıs the greatest jacket İ have ever worn (sorry Gore-Tex)
"What you pay for this?"
"No idea"
"Don`t be Chinese, you speak and tell me, what price?"
"no idea mate"
"You lıke ıt?"
"Yes"
"then what prıce"
"I don`t know, I don`t even need a jacket"
REPEAT ABOVE TWICE
"What you mean you don`t need a jacket? You come to my store and try on my jacket and you don`t even want jacket?"
"Yeah, I guess, I thought İ mıght like one"
"You lıke thıs one?"
"Yes"
"then what prıce"
"Nah, I don`t need it, İ`m traveling"
"So you do come my store and try on my jacket and you don`t even want jacket? You waste my time. I have other customers, and you waste my time, you don`t even need jacket"
Time to go EXIT STAGE LEFT
Nunu bargained herself an awesome scarf. Lesson 1 complete.
