Chai Walla

Morning coffee in Raglan - just as I was chatting to the walla about the greenstone pendant slung around his neck, a European woman asked for coffee, but had no means to pay, so I paid for us both - we continued to chat about greenstone till another customer came along, overhearing us, and offering to give me some greenstone - which is fabulous, as it should be a gift - and not the $200 that they were charging in the nearby shop.
