They have a souvenir street in Palanka raya. This area used to be dayak. The long houses are gone and the ones wich are still living in are for tourist , the other are museums.
But you can still find some dayad handcrafts. The shops are all in one street. The sell lots of stuff. Like reed baskets , wooden statues , bracelets an juwelery. They are all made for tourist....but nice things. Also traditional dayak medicine...
They will charge you a lot. BUt don't be affraid to offer a lower price.
What to buy: PLEASE DON't BUY things made of animal skin , teeth or snake wallets...
Because i think it is revolting and these where animals who lived in the wild.
If u don't have any feelings for animals of the decency to leave the stuff there...here is another reason. It is also internationally forbidden by the c.i.t.e.s. law. It will cost you a fortune when they find it in the airport...
What to pay: More then average. But say a lower price. I made the mistake at first to give the prices they asked because I was a keyhanger- 2000IR- i found that very reasonable. The owner of the shop looked upset and gave me two hangers.... (they are not to good in cheating. lol)

For all of you who ran out of photo material already.
This is the largest photoshop in palanka raya. It is a cool place and they have photomaterial - books , pencils , paper....
And by cool...I mean the films are in a cool place as that is important. If your on a special misson and you need specialised asa. (even 400) you wont find it here or anywhere else. So be prepared.
I bought this beautifull photobook with batik motive... 70 000 IR (7 euro) witch is a really large amount of money overhere.
What to pay: prices for fujicolor film is about 30 000 ir.
