So when being given the question of um, describing someone that I think is good at uh, bargain at street market, the one that immediately comes to my mind would be my grandmother. So I like, she even teaches me a lot of skills and tips and strategies for buying goods. Ah, uh, for buying goods at a reasonable price. But I don’t think I can do it. Like her first strategy would be to get used to all the seller near your local street market. And I think it’s pretty hard. Like you have to be very friendly, very like you have to have a good sense of hu ##or to get to know to that much of people. And you have to be very extrovert too. And yeah, thanks to her circles of friends, she gets to bargain without irritating anyone or annoying any sellers there. And another tips from her would be that you have to understand and know the current price on the local market. Like uh, like for the fish or the local fish, like tuna or meat, beef, like that. You have to know how much it costs on the local market. You cannot like get something at too cheap it to be, it has to be a reason, reasonable price for both the seller and the buyer. So it’s a very hard thing. Like you have to be very knowledgeable, you have to read newspaper frequently to get to know all that stuff.

When asked to describe someone skilled at bargaining at street markets, my grandmother immediately comes to mind. She's taught me so many valuable skills and strategies for getting good deals. Her first strategy is to get to know all the vendors at your local market. This requires being friendly, outgoing, and having a good sense of humor to build relationships with so many people. Thanks to her network of friends, she can bargain effectively without upsetting anyone. Another tip she shared is to understand the current market prices for local goods, like fish, tuna, or beef. You can't expect to get something too cheap; it needs to be a fair price for both the seller and the buyer. It's a lot of work, requiring knowledge and staying informed by reading newspapers to stay up-to-date on prices.
