Back in Bali Levi and I woke up to pouring rain. We opted for a bemo ride and took off to Canngu for some beach break surf. The water was chocolate brown in front of the river, so I opted to surf down the beach. After many Japanese surfers got in the way I decided to go in and watch the show from the little shops and booths above the beach. While sipping on a cool tropical beverage, I was being pursuaded to buy a couple of sarongs. Being the first sale for the day the lady took my money and waved it over the all of her merchandise to bless it for the rest of the day. I learned that you have much more bargaining power when it's their first sale. I am always respectful, but love to mess with them by doubling the price they offer and then dropping it to a tiny fraction of what they want. Always have to keep it fun and games with the merchants. Levi and I had great fun bargaining for a pair of sunglasses with one particularly playful guy. He thought it was great fun just play boxing at our crotches. I was trying to choose a realistic looking pair of Ray Bans and block the ever so quick jabs at my balls. Only in Bali can you get desighner sunglasses for 3 bucks and get punched in the junk for free.
