3) Since all theories are probably false, one might as well accept the myths and conventions of his time and place

Some tidbits on Chinese customs that differ from Western culture. I’m making notes as I go along to try to remember. Here are a few:
 
How do you barter at a Chinese market in China? I have heard that in the North (Beijing) you will pay 50% of the initial asking price. I have also heard that in the South (Hong Kong – Macau) you can begin by offering 10% of the initial price, with an ending price of 10-30% of the original asking price.
I have also heard that much patience is needed in bartering. It’s a necessary step in making purchases, and one that cannot be hurried through. It’s expected to be slow and take time.
