Shopping

After work last night we decided to go to Delhi and do some shopping... wow did I learn lot. First of all, Delhi is not that far away but it took us hours to get there and back because it was peak travel time and the traffic was crazy.... then we get to the shopping place and it was unlike any shopping you can do in Michigan... you barter for everything which as you know I am not good at. Lucky for me Harneet loves to shop and offered to go help us... she is GREAT at bargaining and we figured out a system. If I was with her, I have to pay about 3x as much so I gave her money and said this is what I want and she would get it for 1/3 of the price that I could get. The shop keepers would ask her why she was helping us and give her a hard time, telling her that we could afford it (this was all in Hindi of course an I couldn't understand) It was quite an experience.
