Fishing

Sooi has been busy for about 4 days to catch a fish now. He started his obsession in Samana, which seemed very difficult to explain to the locals what he needed (possibly because they never met a tourist who wanted to go fishing and needed to collect and construct his own gear; it just didn't fit their paradigm).
Even to explain he needed spices to prepare the fish afterwards, he had to role-play the whole process of fishing, killing, cooking and spicing the fish before they grasped what he meant...

As weight (don't know the official name for it, but it makes the bate sink) they sold him little car-parts (which seems to be common practice to fish) and as bate someone took him to the fridge and told him to take frozen scampis...
