Trying to make up for my lost photo opp at the airport, I decided to capture some colour on Hawah beach. This lady spotted me spotting her and smelt a quick buck. First she made me buy a bunch of bananas for 50 rupees for the pleasure of photographing her, and she then insisted on posing with her friend for a formal shot.
She then assailed me for another 200 rupees after the fact. Considering that a waiter in our hotel earns about 2,000 rupees per month, I think she did pretty well. Was I ripped off? In her eyes, she had definitely turned me over, but the total amount equates to about £3, bananas included...
