I know I should get a life but can someone tell me first how many people out there on the beach think that bargaining and bartering are the same thing?
I am in Aceh and maybe the heat has got to my brain but I can't help think that people in 2006 should know that there is a difference in meaning. No dictionary that I know of supports the verb "to barter" as being haggling over an unfixed price.
