Chantalle in Siem Reap and a little Macarena with a couple of tourists, I tried to join in but I could not multitask at all. The whole hand movements and dancing at the same time didn't work. I can either move my hands OR dance...not both.
Some shots you just gotta take. What a sweetheart!
In Ko Lanta, at the Castaway Beach Resort, this local, seemingly gypsy beach merchant, came by everyday, hoping someone would by his hand made art. It was between 28-32 degrees everyday, look at the attire. That's what "need" can do to a person. I bet he'd happily accept a job at Tim Horton's or McDonalds.Negotiations in Chinatown (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia) are a riot; though we are never disrespectful to the vendors. The vendor usually sets his/her first price at about 5 times what you end up paying. So the games begin. You come back with a really lowball price, the vendor says " Cannot Lah", which means " Listen you western, hustler, I'm not budging from my price unless you start walking away, then I'll chase you and take your best offer, which is my worst price"..."Ok Lah". Then we exchange a smile; two competitors who know they will meet again. In this photo, the vendor just hit Amy with the proverbial high price for an item she esteemed; notice that “ I don’t think so" look on her face...or maybe she was thinking
"Cannot Lah".
