a little story from my trip abroad.
janet and i were in dublin, and we walked into a souvenir shop. there was a chinese girl working at the cashier n we started chatting up. she comes from china, and is currently studying in dublin, working part time.
we were about to leave when she insisted we buy something at a discounted rate. janet had already bought her st patrick's day kelly doll, though... and though it was very nice of her, we really didn't want anything. she kept insisting n insisting, so finally i thought i'd just get a pack of cards, which cost 4.85 pounds per pack (or something like that).
she made me take 3 packs, and then asked me to give her like, 5 pounds, grasped tightly in my hands (cos there was cctv!!!) and she returned me like... 3 pounds. so we basically got 3 packs of cards for 2 pounds. janet n i couldn't stop laughing after that. feels like we were stealing something... lol. n the way the girl insisted, though it was well-intentioned on her part, was a bit too much. didn't really feel good about it. but anyways, we already did wat we did... so i gave 2 packs to janet n kept 1 for myself. =p
and that was day ONE of our month-long trip around europe.
