A1: this is a tough one! But I have to go with the China Town market in Kuala Lumpur, my first big overseas market and a mix of bargains, food and drinks! #ttot https://t.co/TS2hJcMSmr

A2: I’ll also add that a fair price should work for both parties - haggling is expected in a lot of places, but we need to be aware of the fact that these people need to make a living too! #TTOT

replying to @SonjaSwissLife @SonjaSwissLife A2 #TTOT After I get an idea of what something costs, I set my own personal max price and put only that much cash in my wallet. Then, when I say I can only pay that price, I pull out my wallet to show only that much cash. May be unfair, but they know right away that's the deal.

replying to @SonjaSwissLife @SonjaSwissLife A2 Fix the highest price that you are willing to pay, and then work downwards from there. Haggling is a mental game, where sometimes the reward is the joy of bargain you manage to get :-) #TTOT

A2 Best tips for markets is know your prices, be prepared to compromise (instead of change they may offer more items, walk away if you are not happy with the price, be patient, know the local rituals, take a calculator, learn the language & have fun. #ttot Zanzibar, Stone Town

A2: get my wife to do it! But seriously, know what you are buying and what the competition is charging and what it is worth to you. Walking away is my number one tip. #ttot https://t.co/2t3Gr4PfPO

replying to @SonjaSwissLife @SonjaSwissLife @StevenOnTheMove A3- I bought some traditional fabrics with East #African prints from the open-air Masai Market in #Nairobi, #Kenya. They were, by far, the best traditional prints I've seen and even after a year it hasn't worn off. #TTOT #travel

replying to @SonjaSwissLife @SonjaSwissLife A2. Haggling. I just can't now. When the sellers opening offer became up to 5X what we would both accept, I just walked away. Pennypinching visitors have ruined haggling for me. Sellers see visitors as walking wallets, so start with some astronomical figure. #TTOT

A3 I purchased some lovely handmade beaded jewellery at the gate into the Masai Mara, Kenya from the Masai ladies craft market. Take US dollars / Kenyan shillings in low currency. This beaded basket is a traditional wedding present for a bride to be which you can buy here. #ttot

replying to @ataxiascot
@ataxiascot @SonjaSwissLife I remember one time I went to Bali and made friends with a vendor and he said "For Russian I say Rp200K, for American I say Rp100K, for Australian, I say Rp50K because Aussies are my friend"
Locals still probably got it for Rp10K haha #ttot

replying to @SonjaSwissLife @SonjaSwissLife @StevenOnTheMove A3: another tricky one! So many items in our house are from markets around the world. I had a great pair of leather things from Marrakech. But I love this painting I bought in Hoi an old town. #ttot
