点评:It was my first time here and i learn a lot of what not to do especially if you are foreigner. For those foreigner and 1st time, here are my tips:
1)dont trust your driver.he maybe in cahoot with the "pedamping". In fact i discovered he had planned for us where to eat. I dont blame the driver but it wasnt a nice experience.
2)take grab and drop down about a few hundred metres.dont enter by the main lobby instead enter at the 2 entrance at the side where it will lead you to basement. Why?so there will be less chance you will get spotted by the pedamping and souvenier seller. They will follow you everywhere and most wont take no for an asnwer.the pedamping is the most uncomfortable part as he will trail you everywhere you go like an eagle.he will engage in small talk, offer you where is cheaper and even advice you how to be safe.
3)dress simple to blend in with the locals.the place is safe but to be haggled by the souvenier seller and pedamping is not a nice experience. Make your visit uncomfortable. Only if they understand that you are not interested. The sad part they even can quote you in the currency where you from. So my conclusion all of them may work as a team and knew your existence.
We went 2nd time a few days later but this time "unannouce". Very very very much better than the first time.We also discovered the price is different which is lower compare to out 1st visit and from the same shop.here we conclude the pedamping could ask for commission and hence the seller have to increase the price in order to pay them.all the items we got on 2nd visit is half compare to the 1st time.
My conclusion, to make your visit comfortable, blend in with the crowds.otherwise you'll get spotted and many of them will trail you.also you get to maximise your money to spend.they dont do anything to harm you but instead make your visit uncomfortable.
翻译:这是我第一次来这里,我学到了很多不该做的事情,尤其是如果你是外国人的话。对于那些外国人和第一次来的人,我有一些建议:
1)不要相信你的司机。他可能和“脚踏车”合谋。事实上,我发现他已经为我们计划好了去哪里吃饭。我不怪司机,但这不是一次愉快的经历。
2)乘坐出租车下车,大约几百米。不要从主大厅进入,而是从侧面的 2 号入口进入,它会带你到地下室。为什么?这样你就不会被脚踏车和纪念品卖家发现。他们会到处跟着你,大多数人不会接受否定的回答。脚踏车是最不舒服的部分,因为他会像鹰一样跟着你到处走。他会和你闲聊,告诉你哪里更便宜,甚至建议你如何安全。
3)穿着简单,融入当地人。这个地方很安全,但被纪念品卖家和小贩讨价还价可不是什么好体验。让你的访问不舒服。除非他们明白你不感兴趣。可悲的是,他们甚至可以用你来自的货币给你报价。所以我的结论是,他们可能都是一个团队,知道你的存在。
几天后我们第二次去了,但这次“没有通知”。比第一次好太多了。我们还发现价格不同,比第一次低,而且是同一家商店。我们得出结论,小贩可能会要求佣金,因此卖家必须提高价格才能支付他们。我们第二次去的所有物品都是第一次的一半。
我的结论是,为了让你的旅途舒适,请融入人群中,否则你会被发现,他们中的许多人会跟踪你,同时你还可以最大限度地利用你的钱。他们不会做任何伤害你的事情,反而会让你的旅途不舒服。
