If you are just up for items that may fancy you, there are certain important things you have to remember especially when there is a language barrier. In certain countries though most sales personnel can speak some English or understand it a little. It is of utmost importance again to do some research. Try to learn the local language or dialect and greet the sales clerk. You can simply point at a certain item which you find you like and try asking in the local dialect or language how much it costs. If you wouldn't understand what she will be saying to you, you could always bring with you a pen and a paper to let her write on it or gesture to her that you would want her to write the figure in case you don't have with you any pen or paper for that matter. I would advise also to shop with your credit card to avoid bringing large amounts of cash (we wouldn't want any untoward instances of robbery or theft with you losing most of your money). However when you do street shopping most of these shops don't accept credit card and are on a cash basis only so you should bring some cash but in minimal amount. Try to practice on your bargaining skills. It is normal in other cultures and countries to strike a bargain when buying items. To avoid conflicts though do not bargain for an item if you do not have any intention of buying it. The seller often gets insulted and would likely get angry with you. When you name your price, make sure that if the seller would agree to it you should be willing to pay for it. Traveling and shopping abroad can be quite an exhilarating experience that you could learn a lot from. Article Source: http://www.articlewheel.com
