On the Ground--Being a Good Guest

Being a Good Guest—Negotiating for great deals is a fun part of travel and expected in many countries.  However, haggle too hard and you will soon be persona non grata in the marketplace.  Spend too much and you will become a potential mark.  If you learn to strike a balance between spendthrift and sucker, you will have friends in the host community for many years to come.  Think about how much you spend in an average weekend back home.  I always like to pay a little extra for those unique, one-of-a-kind items, e.g., crafts, paintings, and sculptures (provided it will fit into your luggage or that it can be shipped), that will remind you of a great trip and enliven your home décor for many years to come.  

However, the art need not be expensive.  For example, I bought a couple of inexpensive Krama scarves during my trip to Angkor Wat and when I got home I simply put them in a hanging shadow box with pictures of me wearing them.

  1. Fildena 100 brand is a close representative of PDE5 inhibitor drugs. The Fildena brand represents the pharmaceutical group of Fortune Healthcare, a pharmaceutical manufacturer based in India. Fildena's treatment is a prescription for men who have difficulty achieving their desired erection.
    These drugs are very effective for impotence or Erectile dysfunction due to the active prescription of sildenafil citrate.

    How does the Fildena work?
    The active ingredient sildenafil citrate of Fildena is a selective inhibitor of the cGMP-phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) enzyme. Selective inhibition of this enzyme relaxes the smooth muscles of the spongy area of the penis called the corpora cavernosa.
    This vasodilation increases blood flow inside the penis, causing an erection.
