Haitians like to barter. <br /><br />It is comforting to post something with a cloak of anonymity, isn't it? You can say anything or be as rude as you would like without worry of repercussion. <br /><br />& Lee, thank you for always having my back :)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15832381328979306402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7525714496953830610.post-47505674231703669972010-08-13T08:29:37.830-07:002010-08-13T08:29:37.830-07:00well i believe you made the smart decision with th...well i believe you made the smart decision with the haggle. had you not, you may have accidentally offended some of the townsfolk by showing off the fact that not only can you afford not to haggle, but you can afford many of the same item.they may have felt like you were flaunting your affluence. good show on the acclimation to they hatian way of life.leenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7525714496953830610.post-51987007952763310222010-08-11T14:20:21.524-07:002010-08-11T14:20:21.524-07:00Also, you aren't an impoverished Hatian haggli...Also, you aren't an impoverished Hatian haggling with another impoverished Hatian. It may be a way of life for them, but you are a privileged American who can afford to help a poor Haitian man. I don't mean to belittle your efforts to help the Hatian people. Just felt a need to point out the irony of the situation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7525714496953830610.post-76247210523643729942010-08-11T14:13:30.908-07:002010-08-11T14:13:30.908-07:00According to you "-People in Haiti make less ...According to you "-People in Haiti make less than 20 dollar a day." <br />To go to a foreign country specifically to help people you know are impoverished and then make them lower their prices for you? It's not even like the guy was asking for outrageous prices. $3 for a souvenir? Come on, now.

The man who comes on to the site to sell the souvenirs receives a commision to begin with and anything that he sells is just extra icing on the cake. <br /><br />Haggling with him is encouraged...it's a part of Haitian life.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15832381328979306402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7525714496953830610.post-31704599895908095312010-07-15T18:57:51.826-07:002010-07-15T18:57:51.826-07:00Why would you haggle with people who need the mone...Why would you haggle with people who need the money?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
