The first thing to realize is that bargaining is a must. Everything is marked up for tourists, and they see you coming, so don't think that you are ripping anyone off, exploiting the underprivileged, or being stingy. In the markets it is a point of respect to see who can out-bargain the next guy. Its a game, a form of entertainment, and you must look at it that way. A stop at the Equator is a must.
Merchandise there is more expensive but the selection is greater.
These places are also exceptions to the bargaining rule. Excellent quality suede clothing, some beaded by local craftsmen, is designed and made here. It is popular in the local area as well as sold as overseas. Stop by and see for yourself. They make great gifts, won't break your budgets and there are many different colors to choose from.
