At popular tourist spots, there exist many people waiting for a quick buck. Two friendly looking guys approached me and my friend and told us he could do some magic if we lend him our hands (literally). Before we could react further, each grabbed one wrist and started weaving "friendship bands" around our wrist. Goodness! No where to run! I must say that they are really skillful. Completed the job within a min! Its a pretty band but they asked for us$50 each!

They turned hostile when we rejected their handicraft by attempting to untie the knot. Thank god we kept our cool and renegotiated by us$10 for 2 pieces. Its still a crazy price to pay but we could at least get rid of them!!
