high season

NO! It isn't what you think.

There are more tourists here at this time.

The weather is nicer, but the higher numbers mean guesthouses bump up prices, and there's no chance of negotiatiiong a discount, most fill up every night.
The vendors too seems to get more into it. They have more marked prices and haggling just isn't the same as when we were here before. If you ask to get a discount they give you some nasty looks. I guess they don't really need to worry about getting a reputation as a rude shop.

But they need to worry about me burning down their store...or do they? I've been on ehre too long. Next post from Vietnam.
