sell to a tourist tactic #1 in the souk: put the item you are trying to sell on the customer and refuse to take it off.sometimes i hate when we get stuck in a tourist trap and i actually like what they are trying to sell me. we got sucked into the place where they dye all of the wool and fabrics in marrakech. we bought a scarf. not the one pictured, and not that day because i didn't want to admit my defeat. we went back again another day and had them give us the whole presentation again. i am a sucker for factories and such.

lucky! and david goes shopping with you? lucky girl! i've been in many tourists traps too. One time a guy swooshed me into his shop in morrocco, put a scarf on my head and started drawing on my face with charcol. I was like, really chump? it all happened in a matter of seconds and he wanted money for his troubles. I don't think so!
