greetings!

Vendors at the Taj (people will run up to you to buy stuff and just will not leave you alone)

So here's the thing as soon as you enter the Taj area a bunch of people will come up to you and try to sell stuff. They will always lower their price till you say yes...and if you do say yes they will tell you to buy more it's nuts...so i decided to turn it to a little game because it got really frustrating for the the person that was taking care of us. So I decided to take a picture of all of the ones that came up to me secretly...so i would just talk to them till i got them in to a good pose and shoot..the one guy with the sweater around his neck and orange shirt i found to be just hilarious...(reminded me of pat for some reason)but yeah he was my first victim told me to come by these mini taj mahal's made out of real marble...went back and forth with like 3 vendors saying oh this person offererd me a lower price ... then they would come back with a lower one...then he showed me this egg with an elephant inside..and after i said now he was like how bout an egg with elephant inside and then inside that elephant another egg...so i was like well then...what i'm really look for is an egg with an elephant inside and inside that other egg another elephant and inside that elephant...another egg...he looked confused...i know it's evil but really they do not leave you alone so i decided to entertain myself.

The next guy is the whip guy...

i pretty much told him...wow yeah it's nice...real leather huh? then..what the heck am i goin to do with a whip??? and tim was like oh sorry i have like 10 of them already and spent all my money on opium and hookers.

The 3rd guy was chasing our car with a bag of water...enough said...this is only a few of the vendors...i have pics of a lot more....enjoy...

james: yeah...i'm a little drunk right now...our vendor's president took us out...tim is getting ready to throw up right now...it's crazy his apartment was no bigger then your room.

james: that's the thing. you say no more please
cecile: they give you more.
james: and they give you like 10
cecile: good!

here's another one...this one kid called me out...cuz i told him sorry i can't buy your chess board because i had no cash on me (and i really didn't) and he was like ok show me your wallet! if you don't have cash i'll give it to you for free...if you do I get to keep the cash...poor kid didn't know what he was gettin into...as i was about to pull out my wallet...but then though naw...he's got it hard enough...and i don't think he would've gave me the chessboard and i would get mad and make a scene.

oh yeah everybody pees on the side of the road...and with all the traffic i was like wow i'm surprised i haven't seen any accidents yet...and as soon as i said that i saw some poor motorcyclilist get run over...lots of blood pretty gory...had to turn my head away ... quick...did not want to take a picture of that...next will be my pics and stories of the engrish signs.
