i really loved the Annapurna ranges

Not gonna lie, I hate the commercialism of the mountains there but would leave to go spend a few months there at the drop of a hat. Not to peakbag, it's just so pretty.

The fact that they were trying to bargain 50c USD off a cup of tea just makes it. They should have died.

I hate that poo poo. I've traveled with people who insist on bargaining with the locals over everything, and it's fine not to get ripped off for like $20, but there's also a lot of times where it's like "What the gently caress, we're arguing with this dude about $2."

Yeah. My first night in Vietnam a few years ago my partner and I got "taken" for pho at the street place near the hotel. We paid $5 instead of $3. People get legit upset when we say that we forgot to bargain for what was the best meal we ate for days.

We would have been happy spending $20 each for that here.

The value of a deal is how much you enjoy it vs what you spent. Not how much you made someone else worry about feeding their kids tomorrow.

Given the way the conversation played out, albeit through bad English. It sounds like she dined and dashed after trying to bargain.

edit: Yeah reading a follow up article she drank the tea, refused to pay based on the price of tea in towns not on the mountain and then left without paying. Deserved to get beat.

Daily Mail is a racist/homophobic newspaper from the UK. It 100% makes sense they'd leave the bit out about the white british women stealing.

Wait, this guy (the not Hitler guy) is racist?
