Newest Review: ... to a third of the initial asking price. Never ever pay first price. Everyone will ask for baksheesh (tips) its just the way of life out there, don't tip more than 50p to a £1 in Uk pounds. Even when they look at you in disgust - that's how they milk people for more. Wash your hands, use waterless soap or take antibacterial wipes with you wherever you go and use them EVERY time you handle the money.
