It's nice to settle into the local vibe and just enjoy an early walkabout.. I laughed hard at the refusal to cut the bunch in half for you. I'm a, farang that's been living in Malaysia for years now and I recall not having simple requests such as your bananas denied until I learned the language. Even with all my experience traveling around se Asia I still have these trivial annoyances that I just laugh off.. You can always go down to the street and give some bananas away and make some fruit friends!

I approve this.
@skramatters, this trader was having none of it, ... either that or my negotiating skills still need much improvement.
Haha, it's more than likely a power play.. He can regale his mates with tales of his conquest over the farang that he forced into buying a week's worth of bananas..
