Time to go shopping

Shoppping is sure an experience in Senegal. From the vendors on Goree Island to the ladies selling clothing on the beach at Toubab Dialaw, it's an adventure. One thing to know: whatever price they ask at first, it's always a multiple of the price they actually want. Bargaining is a national sport.

Here's a few Wolof phrases, courtesy of Massamba, that'll help you play the game:

How much does it cost
?
It's too expensive.
I don't have money.
