 | Indonesia Shopping | Tips 1 - 10 of 24 |  |
Ask my daughter about this place, it is a shopper's paradise. For a young teenager, she was practically hyperventilating just with the atmosphere, not to mention all the glittery shops selling absolutely everything!!
Also:
Pasaraya Manggarai,
Jl Sultan Agung,
South Jakarta.
Everything!!
Clothes, lovely cotton clothes. Jewellery. CD's, just everything imaginable.
We found it cheap with our exchange rate, but depends on your currency. however I don't think anything is ever expensive in Indonesia.

Easiest to get a cab and ask for Pasaraya, as navigation in this city is impossible for a visitor!! The telephone operators speak both Bahasa Indonesian and English. The stores are open 10am - 10pm 7 days a week.Website: www.pasarayagrande.com

I can only tell you where we shopped back in 2004, I do NOT know if these shops are still around or not.
For CD's/DVD's - Star DVD which was in a back street between Legian and Kuta, close to the Melasti.
Matahari Dept Store - when the heat gets to you, GO HERE! Air conditioned comfort and no haggling over prices. I bought a lot of kids clothes here.
We bought most of our stuff in Legian Street and Double Six Street shops plus shops in and around the Melasti, stuff was a bit nicer quality in Legian.
We thought it was funny that every time we asked "How much?" the shop-owners would always be "How many?"
Anything you want!!! Leave a Comment Theme: Other

This shop was recommended to us by our travel agent as being the best place to buy dvds and cds. Not only did it have an extensive range, but great service and prices. We bought all our dvds and cds from here, as it was also very close to where we stayed, at the Melasti. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: Jl Padma Not. 25 Kuta

Everything in Bali is Dirt cheap!! Bring big bags so you can stock up on everything from fake designer lables to wooden mobiles!

Nyonya Meneer. Meneer is a Dutch word and means gentleman. Nyonya is Bahasa Indonesia and means Mrs. So Mrs. Gentleman. I was determined to find out what Nyonya meneer is.
I soon found out that Nyonya meneer is a factory which produces ‘jamu’. Jamu is a herb drink which can cure minor ailments. It consist mainly of vegetable substances supplemented with dried ingredients. Approximately 150 different plants are may be used - everything from eucalyptus oil, tamarind, turmeric, to acacia and ginger. Spices and sweeteners such as cinnamon, fennel, mint and palm sugar are often added for flavour, as the mixtures can be bitter. So now you know!
’Jamu’ is used as a cure for minor ailments like colds, headaches, and fatigue. It also alleviates specific problems such as a man’s desire to better satisfy his wife or increase stamina. Jamu might be effective against most minor ailments, skin diseases, it improves sexual performance, it alleviates female problems associated with menstruation, childbirth.
So if you feel under the weather drink some jamu.
You will often see the "women with bottles" wandering down the streets carrying a heavy basket of colourful liquid in bottles. This is the ‘jamu lady’. She serves your drink in glasses which she carries along with her home-made brew. You don't know the composition of the jamu, nor do you order specific mixtures. The jamu lady knows which tonics are intended to alleviate your minor ailments. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

If you want to shop the way the locals do, go to Manga Dua. It's a massive complex of buildings, set on both sides of the road and each is packed full of small shops selling everything you can think of, a bit like an indoor market. If you can't buy it there, they don't make it! Don't expect to find genuine designer goods, it's all fake but some of the quality is very good. DVD's are a good buy, and they will play them so you can see the they work.
But be prepared to haggle hard (with a smile), as they are less inclined to drop the price when they see a foreigner! Even so, there are some great bargains to be had. Just don't go during ramadan, as it's so packed you can't move! And give yourself plenty of time there, this place is a huge rabbit warren full of goodies. Theme: Other

"Excuse me. You wanna buy a watch?”
I hesitate
"I give you good price.”
He opens up a big box full of watches.
"No, thank you, Alex".
"How you know my name????"
Not so difficult as it is written inside his box.
"You now buy a watch?"
"No, thank you, not now."
"Later?"
"Perhaps".
Next time he'll see me he'll remind me of my "maybe" promise.
In the end I bought two watches, they never worked properly, I didn't mind. I made him happy and whenever he saw me again, he greeted me as his best friend. It is easy to make people happy with only a small amount of western money.
It's best to approach these vendors in a friendly way. If you ignore them or if you are rude they keep on pestering you and may even be aggressive. Besides they are human beings just like you. They simply try to earn a living, like you, albeit in a differrent way. Leave a Comment Theme: Other
