Haggling

In Morocco, I live in this area with a huge Souk, or market, and you can get every thing, saffron, artichokes, meat, clothes, toys, you name it. So yesterday we had this haggling exercise where we got 10 dirham (~$1.20) to buy something with. I was so proud of myself, I bought a yoyo that was originally 20 dirham for 10. Today, on the other hand, I found this beautiful scarf that was originally 60 dirham and I immediately said 55 dirham, which I got. I feel silly because he accepted so fast that I should have haggled some more. It's funny, I feel like I lost some sort of game and he made me buy something for more than it's worth. Oh well, I suppose I'm still a tourist and it was a learning experience. My friend had an even more interesting experience when she tried to haggle something down from 15 dirhams to 10 dirhams and instead of saying "10" in Arabic, or "ashra" she said "ashrine" which means 20, which led to quite an interesting interaction. Luckly she only had to pay 15 dirhams for it anyway. I hope to be able to haggle like a Moroccan by the time I leave and live up to my Middle Eastern roots.
