[QUOTE="jgbrowning, post: 447364, member: 5724"] hehe similiar experience here! My wife speaks a bit of hindi and she'd do a lot of our bargaining. I'd alwasy have to bargin for the big items, though... patriarchy is alive and well and a bit more obvious than from over here. The best fun was the tag team bargaining... my wife would bargin for shoes or something and she'd talk the guy down from 40$ to 10$ and they'd be smiling and then she say, "Well, i have to ask my husband." hehehe In their society that's considered respectable and she's honoring me, and being a good wife, by doing so, but she'd tell me the price and i'd just shake my head... like it was ridiculausly too high... poor sales guys.. :) joe b.
