    There are rubber blow-up soccer balls, real (I use that term loosely) soccer balls, jerseys, banners and flags of just about every South American soccer club you can imagine. I haggled with a guy over a certainly fake Paraguayan National Team jersey.
    He said, "Veinte."
    I said, "Ocho."
    He looked mad.
    I started to walk away.
    He said, "Amigo! Doce, doce!!"
    I said, "Diez."
    He said, "Once."
    I said, "Okay" and I had myself a jersey for less than 4 USD.

    By the way, they will accept Brazilian Reais, Argentine Pesos or US Dollars.
