You know that saying, “Everyone’s doing it.” It’s my new favorite souvenir buying tactic. Today’s Martin-convincing-session took place outside a rattan store. The desired item: a basket like all the other Burmese ladies are using.
“You know, Martin, I think I really need this basket. I’ll pack my day-pack away and use this. I think it’s going to be a-mazing – and everyone’s doing it.”
US $3 and one slightly frustrated husband later, I had the desired basket in hand.
Up next: trying not to complain when I realize that a backpack really is better for carrying things.
