Anyway, I have no breathing problems at all. I don't know why but I would say that it is even better than at home, where I have a snot nose from while to while ;-) Ok, no more details.
Today I went to one of the famous shopping attractions in Beijing - the Silk street. (Find some pictures here). Before 2005 it was an actual street - an open air market. The government closed it due to some security and absence of land permits from individual landlords. And build instead a big shopping center where still every little seller has its own nice. In fact they are selling there just fakes and kitsch. Some big luxury brands even got a compensation in 2006. But still today one can find all the counterfeits (also quite good ones ;-)) there - but sometimes you have to ask for a specific brand etc. And this is exactly how you have to bargain there:
A Successful Beijing Bargaining Example | |
| You | (looking at a nice pair of fake Calvin Klein pants) How much ? |
| Seller | 500 |
| You | (You look and decide the pants are worth about 100 to you) Cheaper ! |
| Seller | How much you want to pay ? |
| (never answer this straight away, just look the pants over many times, ask why such a high price, remind them its a fake, find holes etc.) | |
| You | Cheaper ! |
| Seller | 300 |
| You | 40 |
| Seller | No. No ... these are real Calvin Klein pants, good quality .. 280 |
| You | 50 |
| Seller | 200 |
| You | (laughing) 60 |
| Seller | Ok, ok, last price, last price 160 |
| You | Ok, ok, last price 70 |
| Seller | These good pants must be at least 100 |
| You | 80 |
| Seller | No, no, sorry, no profit. |
| You | Ok, sorry ... (start walking away) |
| Seller | (calls you back, put items in bag) Ok 90 ! |
| You | Ok 85 !! |
| Seller | Ok sold... wow, you good negotiator. |
It works exactly like this :-) So, if someone needs a Rolex or whatever, you should come here. But be aware of that you have to sustain the following: "Hello Mister!, "Need a Shirt/Trousers/Polo/Whatch/ect." "I give you a discount", "Ahhh, stop! I have seen you before" Etc.
Just smile!
CU next time

Was hast Du Dir denn für schöne Fälschungen gekauft..? ;)
Lass das hier dann aber bloß nicht den Zoll lesen.. *g*
Bis jetzt nur ein Shirt, aber ich plane eine große Rolex-Offensive, wenn die Nationalfeiertage vorbei sind.. ;-).... Bis 175 Euro ist Zollmäßig (fast) alles erlaubt, oder?

... hab ähnliches heute in singapur erlebt udn ein weitweinkelobjektiv von unglaublichen 160€ auf 35 runtergehandlet ... frag mich dabei immer, warum der verkäufer so extrem hoch einsteigt und leute wohl auch noch so blöd sind zu solchen preisen zu kaufen :D ...
