Haggling
I've been to the Grand Bazaar of Istanbul a bit too often in the last week so here is what I have learned:
- Grand bazaar is mostly about screwing stupid tourists.
- Just say NO. Or say nothing.
- If you want the prices to fall just say you are from Bosnia, or another poor ex-Yugoslav country such as Slovenia.
- Haggling can be exciting, even addictive. Some people then go and buy stuff just so that they can haggle.
- Don't be too excited about anything.
- If a salesman takes five minutes to walk you around town and offers you tea and water, you are not obliged to buy his most expensive item.
- Just walking away does wonders for the price. Very good principle to use in daily life as well.

- Doping (THW legalise doping)
- Global warming (THB Kyoto is a myth)
- Kosovo (THS independant Kosovo)
- Drugs (legalisation)
- EU (But nothing to do with Turkey)
- Terrorism (negotiate with terrorist)
- SC and Darfur
