Name of Shop: Hongqiao Market (Pearl Market)

Wanted to get a pair of shoes. Asked for the price. It was 780 yuan. I was stunned. That's the price I'm paying at a shopping centre at Orchard Road in Singapore. I turned and wanted to leave. Jerome asked for 80 yuan. I looked at him in disbelief, it's too much to bargain for. I thought he was trying his luck. We were leaving when the saleslady quickly stopped us and gave us the price that he asked for!

It was simply too amazing! From 780 yuan to 80 yuan! I've a bargaining master on my side. :)

What To Pay: Just don't think that you have got a good deal when you've managed to half the price.
