~~~ Worst city for guidiance solicitation ~~~ by matseb
Description: Oh my Goodness - you cant's spend 5 minutes here without getting bothered
by amateur guides (or more precisely considered promotion seekers). IGNORE THEM or do a no-no gesture as a maximum reaction.
Note: shaking your head means "yes"!!!
They drag you into a shop and get a purchase share
from the manager. At last, they expect a tip for their service.
My tip: Ask people (women!) if you look for anything.
By the way 90 % of the population speak sufficient English! |
