The picture taking is madness and driving me increasingly insane, especially when your "no," your voice, is not respected.
What do they do with those pictures? Do they collect and exchange, do they jerk off on them? It does not matter how exhausted you look, unwashed, eating a potato, the picture is there,in your face.
I'm trying to think it's karma payback for.centuries of white exploitation, fetishization, orientalism etc but it's poor consolation.
The bargaining makes me paranoid, and I dislike most of the co-travellers' paranoia and anxiety over everything, as if everyone is out to get you. Why do we come here? It's like two entrenched sides, the disdainful neo-colonialists and the fantasies of those who "go native" and feel very holy about it. I don't find a niche I would want to be in, and the pull to "sort yourself" is surprisingly strong, as soon as you talk to (or rather, are being talked to) Western tourists. Very old very young people, and many many Germans..
Also, no real supermarkets. I'm in full withdrawal.
