It started with a fish pedicure. There's a tank of flesh eating fish. They literally nibble dead skin. For less than $3 I put my feet in for 15 minutes during which I shrieked and giggled the majority of the time. The worst was when they got up between my toes. Afterwards my feet were silky smooth. It was bizarre and something I'll likely never do again.
From there I set out alone through the market to negotiate and fill up the extra suitcase I brought. All with 1,000B ($33). And I did! At one point I was looking at earrings and a little old toothless woman imbed out from under the stall and on top of the stall to get eye level with me. She asked for 90B for them. I say 20B. We went back and forth and I wouldn't budge. Somehow in the end she offered 10B....?!? So I got them for pennies.
It was an adrenaline filled experience. Kind of like garage sale-ing ^_-
Night market Queen. So glad you didn't let the toothless lady push you around. Fish...nibbling your feet...I didn't find THAT in my research. Missing you!
