to the overly persistent seller who won't take NO for an answer.
"Do you speak english?"...to which the seller wil reply "Yes"
"Do you speak indonesian?"...to which the seller will laugh "of course"
then look the seller right in the eye and say with a 'don't mess with me any more' look and say
"anda mengerti TIDAK?" ("do you understand NO?")
and completely ignore them from then on.
After a minute or two they'll get up and move on.
