In my hometown,  if I buy a piece of clothing, if the seller says this clothes price is 100 rmb, maybe I will bargain to 60 rmb. But in Shanghai, I darely not to bargain to 60, maybe 80 or 90 rmb. However, I am in my biased perspective. But i need to stand in the seller’s perspective. I see my best friend one time every two months.

Revised:

In my hometown, when I go to buy clothes/a piece of clothing or go shopping, if the seller says the price is 100 rmb, I will try to bargain and see if I can get/buy it for 60 rmb. But in Shanghai, I don’t dare to bargain this much, maybe 80-90 rmb. However, I am putting myself in the shoes of a buyer/customer. But I should/need to put myself in the shoes of the seller instead. I see my best friend once every two months.
