My Haggling skills have come a long way since China, as I found out when I took the ski bus down the mountain the other day.
Driver "10,000 pesos por cada persona, por favor"
Alan "Que no! Solo 8,000 pesos. El Hostel se dice 8,000"
....Driver telephones Hostel to find out the price, some discussions go on for a minute...
Driver "Ok, 7,000 pesos"
Alan "Er, ok 7,000 pesos. Que bien!"
So thats how to haggle.

Hey Stu nice to hear from you!
a few days ago I learnt a new trick on my last run, that involved jumping, then catching the front of the board in the snow, flipping over and landing on my head and shoulder. Lucky I am riding with a helmet these days. Shoulder still hurts though. Ouch, etc.
