- 0:05Speaker 1: Haiti has been together with Professor K Pop Young. Okay,
- 0:10Speaker 1: so last episode we learned how to say, how much
- 0:12Speaker 1: is
- 0:12Speaker 2: this? Yeah, that's right. On
- 0:13Speaker 1: my own, on my own, but this episode, I think
- 0:17Speaker 1: we should cater to singaporeans who love to haggle.
- 0:20Speaker 2: Someone who loves a challenge, I believe.
- 0:22Speaker 1: Yes. You know, because I've actually talked to a friend before,
- 0:24Speaker 1: like when we go to Bangkok, this friend of mine
- 0:27Speaker 1: has to always haggle then when you do the math, right?
- 0:30Speaker 1: I thought I'm like, it's just 50 cents, you just
- 0:33Speaker 1: wasted like a good five minutes to, I don't know,
- 0:36Speaker 1: 10 minutes at a time to save 50 cents. I mean,
- 0:39Speaker 1: shooting your time be worth more than that, But she's like, yeah,
- 0:41Speaker 1: but that's not the point. First of all, it's fun.
- 0:42Speaker 1: And second of all, you know, I just feel like
- 0:44Speaker 1: I've worked hard to get something and I'm like, okay,
- 0:47Speaker 1: so strange.
- 0:47Speaker 2: You know, you've achieved something with them. Haggling.
- 0:50Speaker 1: Exactly. So wait, it's haggling even done in Korea Or
- 0:53Speaker 1: is it seems like
- 0:54Speaker 2: yes, it is. It's very common in Korea because we
- 0:57Speaker 2: have a lot of outdoor markets and like street sides stores.
- 1:01Speaker 2: So I guess you can take your chances in Korea
- 1:04Speaker 2: as well
- 1:04Speaker 1: to haggle okay, but not a proper store.
- 1:06Speaker 2: Yeah, not at a proper store if you walk into
- 1:09Speaker 2: a mall and you walk into a store to ask
- 1:12Speaker 2: for a discount, they're not
- 1:13Speaker 1: going to give it to you, right? And they ask
- 1:15Speaker 1: you where you're from? Don't say you're from Singapore to
- 1:17Speaker 1: do that.
- 1:17Speaker 1: Um but how about, I'm curious how about a street
- 1:20Speaker 1: food store?
- 1:21Speaker 2: Yeah so it really depends actually. So a lot of
- 1:25Speaker 2: street food stores they have the price tags on the
- 1:28Speaker 2: banded body. So in those cases it's difficult to haggle
- 1:31Speaker 2: because the store owner has already set a price for everybody. Yeah.
- 1:37Speaker 2: So if you see price tags on his store then
- 1:40Speaker 2: try not to haggle. I'm talking about those markets because
- 1:43Speaker 2: we have a lot of markets in Korea where you
- 1:45Speaker 2: can go to eat food and buy some really cheap stuff.
- 1:49Speaker 2: And in these stores a lot of them they don't
- 1:51Speaker 2: have price tags. Okay so in those cases you have
- 1:54Speaker 2: to ask the store owner how much is it? Yeah
- 1:57Speaker 2: so you have to ask the person or how much
- 2:00Speaker 2: is it? Because you really don't know
- 2:02Speaker 2: then I guess sometimes the owner just like randomly quote
- 2:05Speaker 2: your price.
- 2:06Speaker 1: Those are the instances where you can kind of try
- 2:08Speaker 1: to haggle.
- 2:08Speaker 2: Yeah you can try your luck in these instances. And
- 2:12Speaker 2: what you must use is could you say what God
- 2:17Speaker 1: you say like DACA isn't like Takashimaya
- 2:19Speaker 2: not the top but
- 2:20Speaker 1: guys in
- 2:21Speaker 2: G. A. It's a double G. A. Okay.
- 2:24Speaker 1: Okay. Break it down for us to

- 2:45Speaker 1: guy and one slogan. very
- 2:47Speaker 2: strong emphasis on the GTO kaka kaka

- 3:04Speaker 2: a slash on the price.
- 3:05Speaker 1: Oh jin got a juicio
- 3:08Speaker 2: Andy oh no, okay, but the most successful instances of
- 3:12Speaker 2: this happening is when you buy things in bulk. Yeah,
- 3:16Speaker 2: so let's say you buy like three packets of like
- 3:19Speaker 2: some seasoning or something and you want that discount or
- 3:22Speaker 2: you want to round down your price, then this sometimes works.
