Truly happy that you're doing great @danny.green. As for me, glad to have been recovering fast from that devastating storm in my homeland a few weeks ago.
Moreover, I've used my bargaining powers in Egypt too as I was blessed to be there some years ago. I'm pretty sure you had unforgettable adventures there with the pyramids, camels, plus everything in between. Now, aren't we having so many common stories to share? lol 🤣
Dealing with all types of sellers, not only in the Arab world but basically anywhere around the planet, is a vital skill to master. If you happen to be in the Philippines, the more it's extremely helpful to bargain due to the tendency of sellers in open marketplaces to purposely escalate prices of goods for foreign tourists. To get more value for your money, this must be one of our best practices if we travel internationally. 😊
I'm glad to hear that you've made it through the devastating storm on your island. It was sad news when I found out about this incident. I'm glad everything is getting better.
Oh yes, it's great that we have common topics of discussion and places we have visited! I didn't get to see the pyramids, but I enjoyed the Egyptian flavor. It was like being in another world.😀 I agree that in any markets you have to bargain. This is a great way to start an interesting dialogue with the seller (in Egypt I was treated to delicious tea while shopping) and save money. In the 1990s, it was also profitable to bargain on the market here, but now mostly buyers are waiting for fixed prices.
I hope that this year we will all be able to travel again.🙏
Definitely! 🙏 Rest assured everything would be better as we journey into the future. Thank you very much for this interesting conversation. I had lots of fun. 😊
