Earlier today I negotiated with a taxi driver to take me to the airport. The price was lower if he got to take me to some shops'o'crap as he gets commission, and as I had an hour to kill I thought I would go look at some crap. One shop was the Worlds Biggest Diamond Shop! where I had my own personal cute thai sales assistant to attempt to persuade me to buy gem-laden jewelry for my mother or girlfriend, translating each price out of Thai Baht into Sterling Pounds with a 4 significant figure exchange rate on pocket calculator, in the somewhat misguided hope that I'd find the latter more easy to deal with. The other shop really was just a bunch of crap.
