A piece of material for which you bargained one shopkeeper down to 100 shillings may be available with almost no bargaining at another shop for 35 shillings. The more aware you are of the local prices, the better position you will be in when it comes time to buy. Basically, you can spend as little or as much as you wish for your souvenirs. A wide range of sizes and quality is available. You'll still get good prices on goods made in East Africa, so enter the bargaining situation in a spirit of fun, and be prepared to spend some time arriving at a price.
Bargaining is an occasion for good-natured give and take.
Photographing People People in different cultures have different ways of responding to cameras. There is a true story, for instance, about Navajo Indians in the southwestern part of the United States. A teacher one day asked a group of school children to draw pictures of the tourists who frequently visited their reservation. Most of the children drew pictures of the visitors with cameras where their heads should have been. Reactions to being photographed may depend on religious beliefs, on how people perceive the motives of the photographer, on the degree that people value their privacy, and on previous experiences with photographers.
