[Groop] Groo in China

Hello!.  I'm in China and yesterday I spent a few hours in the Great Wall, and 
of course I took my Groo shirt with me to wear.

What effect did this have to the tour? 
Well it had one possitive and one negative side:

The negative side was that our guide had no idea where we were going and had 
us walking up and down the street while she was making phone calls to try to 
find out what was going on. So in the end most of the people spent only half 
an hour on the wall (I split earlier and was there for a longer time).

The other Grooish thing that happened is this conversation:


Buyer: How much this?

Seller: *% *&%&  translation (85 YUAN)

Buyer through a translator: 65 YUAN

Seller : $%&^^$%^ No, 50  YUAN

Buyer through a translator, and smiling: OK.

If that is not Grooing, I don't know what Grooing is.

I put a picture (big and rotated, sorry) of me on the Wall
