Lonely Planet's Top Tip
The markets in this area are well accustomed to foreign tourists so prepare yourself for some seriously hard bar-
gaining. There are no hard and fast rules as to how much to cut the starting price by. The best way to gauge how
low vendors are prepared to go is simply to walk away, hopefully prompting a genuine 'last price'.
