Now that instantly got her laughing as it's merely $5 U.S.! She then countered with $70 H.K. but only for us to counter-offer $60 H.K. telling her that we contract workers only gets paid very little for all the hard work we endure here in Hong Kong.

She then took our offer & sent us to this lovely sampan for a mere $7.50 U.S. Now that's bargaining at its worst as we unscrupulously tricked the old woman who was still nice enough to strike us a pose in the previous pic for the memories:)

But if we were only caucasian or Japanese, there's no way we could've bargained that low!

*Indeed, there are lots of Filipino contract workers here in H.K. & I'll have lots of pics of them in later articles. Such beautiful & hardworking people the Filipinos truly are, never afraid to go to foreign land in order to make a living.
