fashion world tex and tailoring: tailor made

by kat-m

This tailor will make you anything, hubby finding the heat too much was in need of some loose fitting shirts. We had 2 shirts made with the material of your choice. They were ready the following day for 800 rupees. About £10 sterling. Since our return home I have washed and ironed them and they are lovely. Any clothing that you require he will make you, mens , womens or childrens. About a 3rd of the price at home

Kovalam shopping: Souvenir stores

by MaheshSamtani

Like any other places, the beaches of Kovalam have their own tourist souvenir shops. Most of them will sell you local arts and crafts that go from paintings, shellware, sandalwood figures, and a lots of other tempting stuff that you would surely buy to take back home as personal memorobilia of your trip or gifts for family and friends. Check prices at different place before you decide your buy and practice bargaining as in many other parts of the world.
