Whilst viewing any products in the above areas be prepared to haggle. Prices are negotiable and you will be amazed at how easy it is to barter the price down. Never purchase from the very first shop you visit, be prepared to walk away and if necessary come back later. You will also notice and be hassled by street traders selling “copy watches and handbags” If you are not interested in these items a polite no thank you will suffice.
Around the above areas are many small food outlets selling amazing local foods at staggeringly cheap prices.
