Hi everyone, I wanted to when we were travelling aboard.... We should say we from M'sia or other country especially when we bargain price??... My friend told me that we should say we are singaporean b'cos HK ppl dislike Malaysian...
Why must you tell ppl which country are you from when bargain? Go to shops with fixed price to save time and energy to bargain. Buy the stuff if you think the price is right, and if you can the similiar things back home cheaper, then why bother to bargain and buy when overseas? There are people out there who bargain for fun and for "cheap trill", sometimes to get the sense of victory even if it's just 10cents cheaper!
I got no problem in HK, it's not true that HK ppl dislike Malaysian. What's the reason when your friend said so?? In HK, if you want cheap stuff, look for those 3 for HKD100, 3 for HKD500 kind, or if want branded goods, go to factory outlets, or warehouse sales even, all no need further bargaining. Who would cares which country you are from?
What I've encountered so far is that the question of "which country are you from" is asked as a friendly talk.
