Essaouira, moving to new place

Today we moved for an apartment to another. The new one is a bit cheaper, nicer and better fridge and kitchen.
Stairs to go up to the apartment are very narrow and steep – scary!

We will be here for one more week; we didn’t really want to, but we were kind of being sweet talked by this guy and agreed to stay; now, we will see….

About “sweet talk” – what we find frustrating is that we can never tell if someone in being just friendly or want something from us, or taking advantage of us. Also Mark and I are very poor “negotiators”; we don’t know how to bargain and we feel uncomfortable. The very few times we wanted to buy something, we end up by giving up just because we didn’t want to be bother.

We are wondering why people here don’t realize that putting pressure on foreigners is not a good sales tactic.
