Play experience 1. Bargaining is a skill when going out.
For example, in BigC mall, a box of Little Boss Seaweed sells for 90B, but here it sells for 460B, buy three and get one free.
So if you negotiate the price you can accept that's the thing.
At the same time, a certain degree of language barrier also makes bargaining more difficult.
How you use body language is up to you.
But even if you don't end up getting the best price, it's a fun experience.
