thank goodness i scrolled to the next page on the blog because i didn't realize i was this behind!! i love the pictures...my favorite is the one with the flowers and what almost look like flower necklaces...layes (or however you spell it)
Have you bought anything at the markets? Are prices negotiable on things or are they set?
The flower garlands are used as offerings in the temples. We have not bought anything as it is nearly impossible to shop without being hassled and annoyed to the point where it is not a pleasant experience at all. The prices apparently are negotiable... but again, we did not experience this ourselves. Everytime you pause for half a second, you are surrounded by people shoving stuff in your face and yelling at you to buy this, buy this, good deal here, buy...
