If you have ever been to a market you know that the vendors will say anything to you to get you to stop and look. Us three girls got tons of compliments on our smiles, men calling us their flowers, and merchants shouting "student prices" at us. Our favorite line though, was "special prices for spice girls!" Meanwhile, mum and dad kept getting "honeymoon prices", and when explained that they had been together for 25 years, the vender across the street yelled "celebrate 25 years over here then".
We were able to barter the prices down on some jewlery I found. And dad, like normal, was able to talk his way into a decent price. But we knew that as long as we were buying it, they were still making a profit.
