The other day I was with Rem, one of my favorite team members EVER, and we stopped in town after a long day of work so that I could buy these new sweet kicks I had been admiring. After getting them, I walk back to the boda and this exchange occurs:
Rem: So how much did you end up paying?
Me: 13,000 shillings - I tried to gamble, but... wait, is that the right word?
What I MEANT to say was "I tried to bargain, but it wasn't too successful" (they were originally 15,000 shs) ... it was slightly embarrassing as all the locals around us started laughing and I will not lie that Rem and I laughed the whole way home too!
Good times in Africa...
