in kenya

(haggling with a street vendor for a padlock)
"30 bob. Best price!"
"give me 20 bob, my friend."
"No, no! 30!"
...
"dude.. no way were you going to get a lock for 20 shillings"
"neah, its fine. Didnt want it anyway. Couldnt trust a lock that only cost 30 shillings, could I?"
"...."

"So, me, I'm what you would call a light traveller"
"Dude.. You came to Kenya with a fucking suitcase.."
"...well if you consider thats all my worldly possessions.. In the world. I'd still consider that light."
