 | |  |  | Chinatown: bargain @ chinatown! | Tip Rating:   |  |  | |  |
Chinatown is a heaven for DVD/fake bags/clothes shoppers. But be sure to 1. go in the morning: There are more stalls set up in the streets (but all these shops sell the same thing anyway so you probably won't be missing out) but if you go in the evening, they expect that you are an unsuspecting tourist and try to rip you off. If you go in the morning it will be less crowded and cheaper. 2. BARGAIN: Call at least 1/3 the price and if they refuse then pretend you don't care and pretend to walk away, and show them the cash. If this does not work go to another stall. If the other stall does not comply as well then increase your price offer. Do NOT pay what they ask, it is a blatant rip off. HOWEVER: if they call 10 ringgit for watches there is no bargaining. That's the best price you'll get, unless you want to stand there haggling for an hour only to get the price down to 9rm. (prices are fixed in the shops that are air conditioned)
DVDs, bags, watches, beads, shoes, cell phone accessories, underwear, clothes (esp skirts are nice. Shirt quality is rather bad), local fruit
20~25rm for a bag is an acceptable price. 10rm for a watch is rock bottom (best price). Around 15~40rm for skirts, 40~80rm for jeans, and 10~20rm for shirts. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: "Chinatown" is enough

| | | | Chinatown: Designer Replicas - You Can't Resist!! | Tip Rating: | | | | |
Well.. there wasn't a category that summed up Petaling Street in Chinatown, KL so I went for an all-encompassing "Discount Store". This is basically a flea market type street like Patpong in Bangkok without the sleazy girly bars and chock-a-block with stall vendors selling anything you could ever want.. and then some! Go with an open mind and aim to sharpen/hone your bargaining skills!... you may say you won't support piracy or be caught dead in designer fakes, but my friend... come walk this way and see if your convictions are still that strong ;)))
You can get anything you want at great prices.. your designer replicas, Gucci winter fur-lined coats even!, t-shirts, leather goods, jewelry, accessories, also brilliant copies of latest before-release-in-Europe DVDs/CDs, even cheap Cable TV remote controls for RM15, mobile phone batteries and chargers, covers, etc. etc. Fake watches a-PLENTY amongst others!!!
For watches: Ranging from your basic RM13.00 for made-in-china Gucci ladies watches all the way to those better quality ones which the stall vendors keep behind glass at the back (what they call Swiss machine watches made in Hong Kong... these are the 'real deals' baby!!) If you're really good, you can bargain a good behind-the-glass-cabinet-Tag Heuer down from RM250+ to RM150 but give or take RM10 or RM20 here and there... it's a good deal! I have friends who buy a watch a month to keep up with the latest trends, crazy fun! Leave a Comment Theme: Discount StoreAddress: Petaling StreetDirections: Chinatown!
