The question was posed to us in Guiyang, on the street. Typically people sell fruits, vegetables, and trinkets, but this woman was offering something more: friendship in a small bowl of water.
"Just 12 yuan ($2) for two fish and the bowl."
"Ok, throw the net in and we'll call it good." I said.
"No, the fishnet is 1 yuan."
"That's ridiculous!" I complain, "Let me tell you something about the costs of goldfish and goldfish accessories..."
[haggling continues for several minutes]
"What shall we name them?"
"Punk and Rock?"
"What about Tegan and Sara?"
