Description:
First of all, you'll find that the Tibetans are the ones handling many of the open air kiosks that surround the Barkhor Square - a fun activity to do before or after you've visited the Jokang Temple.

The Tibetans try to drive a good bargain like anyone else. If you treat them with respect and don't drive them into the ground, they'll give you a more than reasonable price on their goods AND send you off with a blessing and good karma.

IF however, you bargain and bargain them down to a dollar and then don't even purchase the item, you'll incur their wrath - like David did! He was told that he was a "Cheap - Cheap!" -- The ULTIMATE insult in Tibet, obviously!

What to Buy:
Those Buddhist temple horns made out of metal are great buys....as are the beautiful and very ubiquitous Prayer Wheels. A "Marriage Apron" is also a great gift to bring back to someone...and a good bargain.
