      Not a good match for Dale. Harald is such a whining bitch, always complaining about locals and he seems to have a big ego about himself just because he's from Norway. He might have expected something different about sri lankan girls too (this is not phillipine). And he always try to be bossy around locals. I mean he doesn't do anything bad but if you look closely, you'll see his bad mindset about sri lanka as a developing country. I hate that guy.

Many Indians and Sri Lankans have more money than Dale, they dont have to pay rich tax. Only white man expected to pay "foreigner tax". Its wrong on many levels, and it encourages scamming in general towards even the locals. It encourages people to discriminate for other reasons too.

    Good bargaining. You got better prices than locals. One thing to remember that these street vendors don't make big money , they just make barely enough to feed their families. We step into a big brand store and are prepared to pay big premium handing them a huge profit. Not all street vendors quote higher prices for the tourists. But starting the bargaining at 50% of the asking price is really something that I can't do. Good bargaining but remember that these guys makes barely enough money for the day.

    It's the same I think in all SEA you're expected to bargain, if you don't bargain you're not respected you're just a sucker. A lot of those knock offs they get really cheap less than 400LKR.
    I always try and get things for half the price they tell me and I'll come up a little if it's something I really want. That's a good rule of thumb and like you did don't be afraid to walk away. Good chance you'll get it for half price or at the lowest price they can give you from some one else. It's all part of the fun of shopping at the markets.

    Piece of advice Dale: NEVER handover any valuable piece of equipment for even a second to anyone in a 3rd world country. I head one saying to the person holding your camera (at around 3:30) to run with it and then the seller will take Rs 600.00. All are fake and you should pay no more than Rs 600.

    @Dale Comparatively you got very good prices (I'm not sure about the quality), In Pettah .most customers are locals. Therefore profit margin is less. Thats why prices didn't change that much after bargaining.

    • @Dale_Philip

      And in Kandy it looks like they probably just buy from Pettah and try to sell at high profit to tourists in Kandy.

    By the way Hirdaramani apparels in sri lanka make adidas & nike products, mostly t-shirts. But those are not allowed to the local market but only for the export. If we want to buy a original nike or adidas we have to pay more because those were imported again from a foriegn trader even though manufacturer was a local company. Same goes to Tea - as a sri lankan i never tasted a premium tea which is really sad, all premium tea have been exported & we got to drink the left overs.
