Bargaining Effects

Today was my second day at the homestays. Last night was extremely challenging for me. The living situation wasn’t something I was accustomed to. It prompted me to dive out of my comfort zone and try something new with an optimistic outlook. And that made my experience the best it could have ever been.

We watched the mother (Auntie Asha) and her husband make chapati for dinner together. After, we ate dinner with the family and conversed via our translator and friend, Dimpy. The language barrier could have been challenging, if not for great body language.

The next day, we embarked on a shopping trip in Mcleod Ganj. It was there where I learned the art of bargaining. However I was conflicted. Yes, bargaining was fun and all, and it saved me money, but was it worth it? A few cents that I would save could mean a lot more for the shop keepers I bargained with. This was one of many moments on this trip where I questioned my actions and how it affected the people that live here.
