And the comfort is knowing that if you walk away, you'll probably find the exact same item two stalls down. <br /><br />I bought bunches of breezy cotton capri pants ($3-4/each, dresses ($4-6), wide stretchy headbands ($1), men's khymer pants ($3--Scott loves to lounge in these!), scarves ($1.50). There are a couple of NGO stalls that are pricier but their products seemed better quality. Other than basic greetings, I felt completely comfortable using hand signals for numbers. <br /><br />I only got in trouble when I fell in love with the sweet girl selling me stuff! Compliments go a long way with me.<br /><br />While you're over there, Cafe Yejj and Jars of Clay are both delicious places to eat!Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14542848995175621970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-171449100604531845.post-41339664434074281282012-03-01T06:04:59.644+02:002012-03-01T06:04:59.644+02:00Can you believe I haven't been to the Russian ...Can you believe I haven't been to the Russian Market yet? I want to go. A friend here is probably going to go there a good bit over the next few weeks, as she's getting ready to move back home, and I'm hoping to go with her sometime. I still don't know reasonable prices, so I prefer to go with someone who's more knowledgeable at least once.Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10249491905813918066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-171449100604531845.post-62084467687979990732012-03-01T05:59:54.977+02:002012-03-01T05:59:54.977+02:00My girls love coconut water!

Plus, the younger girls selling clothes give the most outrageous compliments and are so sweet, before I know it, I am inside a stall surrounded by a pile of clothing. They played on my Cinderella fantasies, I suppose!Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14542848995175621970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-171449100604531845.post-4852880122565214032012-02-28T01:50:02.159+02:002012-02-28T01:50:02.159+02:00Thanks for the details of your first half day of s...Thanks for the details of your first half day of sight-seeing.
