i went with a friend and I am sure you would remember thos little guys on pushbikes packed to the hilt with novelties.Anyway she started to bargain with one of them and because he wouldnt go lower than what she had allowed whichi believe amounted to 20cents she walked away. We where quite away from the hoteland we started to walk and this poor little bugger pedalled along side of us for ages in the end my daughter and i gave him our small notes which probably amounted to $5.We where staying at the puri raja and every day he would be out the front still trying to sell to my friend and she never gave in .My daughter and i would slip him our small change and when we where going he gave us a small gift which i still have and my friend got nuthing.She whinged non stop needless to say I have never asked her to go away again,she always suggests we should do it again and i always have an excuse.
