Grand Bazaaaaarrrr - Jewellery Guy, Pendant Guy, Keyring Guy & The leather handbag homeless woman

After the entire scraf guy incident it was time for me to stock up on Jewellery. So we head to my Jewellery guy from 2004 where I made several purchases from last year. I thought it would be nice if I buy my Grandmother and Mum something from here as a present.

While I'm trying to find presents Nagasaki decides to cause a scene and confuse the process by spotting a GIGANTIC necklance. Well its more like a pendant with a string around it. It's beyond me how the hell someone wears this. You would need back compensation for wearing this thing. Before I could open my mouth, Nagasaki is strolling around the store with the necklace doing cat walk moves.

This is when I question the guy on how much this necklace is. The guy tells me $130. I'm ready to rip the pendant off Nagasaki and throw it across the counter. I slowly break the news to Nagasaki who was enjoying the cat walk. Within a split second Nagasaki takes the thing off and practically throws it herself. I've never seen someone take a necklace off so fast. I think we were both disgusted with the price that the Jewellery guy must have noticed and immediately slashed the price as a favour to me. The next price was $85. I explain this to Nagasaki who just wanders off without a word. I think she was ready to spit on me for even mentioning $85.

I continue to choose my presents when Nagasaki storms back into the store. The Jewellery guy notices that Nagasaki is ready to spit on both of us with the price disgust. He then questions Nagasaki on whether she like the necklace or not. Nagasaki stupidly says yes but the bloody thing is too expensive. The Jewellery guy pulls out his calculator and pretends to do some maths before he decides to break down the price further by separating the items. The jewellery guy proposes that Nagasaki can simply buy the pendant instead of the whole set. The breakdown follows that the pendant will cost $45 and the piece of string will be $30. I practically swallow my tongue. The funny part is the whole set was $85. If Nagasaki brought them separately then she would pay $75 for the set. Like what the ?

I'm trying to concentrate on buying my presents while Nagasaki decides not to buy the necklace. As she stands there looking completely lost the jewellery guy continues to slash the price. We find out that his wife has just gone into labour and his waiting on news to here that his going to be a father again.

I finally decide what to buy when the Jewellery guy yells $55 at Nagasaki. She continues to stand there looking lost and has no clue what the hell is going on. When she realises that his talking about the necklace she quickly opens her wallet without thinking twice and forwards a $50 note. This is when it hits her that shes paying for it but hasnt really processed how much it was. She continues to question how much it is when the Jewellery guys eyes light up. He takes the $50 and ends the bargaining process. At the time we thought we did well but later realised that if we continued standing there and looking lost that we could have got it for $30.

With the Jewellery guy out of the way there was several other items which I wanted to buy as presents for people at home. I figured it would be cheaper getting in Turkey then dealing with it in the US. So we decide to come up with a quick plan so that Nagasaki would do all the bargaining process as she's good in throwing random tantrums.

I wanted to buy bracelets for my male cousins and something for my parents. So we decided that if I liked something I would yell to Nagasaki that her parents or brothers would like that to which she would step into bargaining status and finalise the purchase.

This was all good and well but drama's developed on the way. I saw a lighter my dad would like with the Istanbul bridge on it. I yelled out to Nagasaki saying your dad would like this. This is when Nagasaki screams her lungs out "My dad doesn't smoke". Talk about stuffing up the plan. Nagasaki soon realises the mistake and questions how much the lighter is when we decide to throw it back and keep walking.

I came across a pendant which I liked and told Nagasaki that her sister would like this. The pendant was priced at $20 but the guy dropped it to $15. Nagasaki stepped into bargaining process and offered $10. This is when the guy practically beat the shit out of us and threw us out of the store yelling at us "You don't have to buy it if you don't like it". Like what a complete lunatic. Why would we bargain for it if we didn't like it. Who goes around bargaining for things they don't like? Maybe I should do that next time.

We practically run out of that store and somewhere along the line I remember to buy my mum shawls that she wanted. We end up buying a few and Nagasaki pretends to buy it all for her mum.

With all this shopping we had to stop for a piss stop. After walking out of the toilets I see a stand with keyrings so I hit it. This all happen really fast that we didnt get a chance to bargain. The guy said the keyrings were $4 each so we started walking off before he yelled out to us. He said 5 for $10. I took $10 out of my wallet and he reached and grabbed the first 5 keyrings he found and shoved them into a bag and handed the bag to me and snached my money. I walked away not knowing what keyrings I had brought.

By this time I was tired and hungry. Still trying to recover from feeling sick. We head to this resturant in the grand bazaar and sit ourselves down. We start ordering things off the menu only to realise that 90% of the menu isn't available. Why the hell give me a menu then? There was seriously no food left or they hadn't cooked it.

The waiter decides to take me to the kitchen to see what food I can actually have. My throat was killing me so I decided to order any soup they had.We ordered lentil soup and loved it. I don't know if it was because we were both still sick or the soup actually tasted that good. We also ordered pide and salad but couldn't be bothered leaving the soup.

While sitting at the resturant we notice a homeless woman with her daughter walk to the resturant begging for food. The owner shoves a kebab roll into their hands and they wander off eating their kebabs to a store. This is when Nagasaki yells omg the homeless woman has a leather handbag. Then we notice that her little daughter has a leather hand bag. Were left in shock that a homeless woman goes begging with leather hand bags. Who the hell goes begging with leather. The funny part people actually feel sorry for them and give them freebies.

Were decide to leave the resturant as soon as we eat as we can't stand the machine noise thats going on. I thought that my ear was about to rip off at one stage.
