    If you love handicrafts, you must come here ! Many to choose from !
    This building was originally a fish market but has turned to a handicraft market, to prevent it from being abolished !
    The photo shows the entrance to Central Market...

    Lots of things to mention, very colourful handicrafts, something to eat, something to wear, something to hang, something to read; Everything that your heart desires would be available here !
    A good place for tourists !

    BARGAIN !

    Small small items...like lockets, keychains, whatever exotic you fancy hanging around your wrists or neck, could be found here.
    All made intricately by the locals. If these things look cheap to your eyes, so bargain cheap from the vendors !

    BARGAIN !

    Now what do we have here ? Notice in the middle of the photo, there are 2 small drums; they called called Gendang Rebana, means Rebana Drums.
    Normally these drums are much bigger, being thumped on it, on some traditional ceremonies.
    You can buy the small versions of these drums.
    Look closely on the photo, you might see something that you want to hang around your rooms !

    BARGAIN !

    Sometimes inside Cantral Market, there's an exhibition going on; cultures from Asia, Books Promotions, Travel Promotions, Traffic Awareness Promotions etc etc...to lure locals, tourists & passers-by to come in to have a look.
    On that day, there's this exhibition of art & crafts from Asian cultures; I could see this white elephants mat hanging from the celing, wonder what was it all about ? Beautiful as it was, good for the eyes but zero for my knowledge ! I should have asked...

    BARGAIN !...maybe some items are for sale...

    Though there are Javanese people in Malaysia, the blankon is not a common sight.

    The blankon is a traditional Javanese male headdress made from the batik cloth. The blankon style denotes its meaning, there are blankons for daily wear or formal wear as well as blankons which says you are a commoner, a warrior or a king.

    We found this shop at a cornermost point within Central Market. The man is very friendly and charges reasonably.

    Who likes fans ? That young boy at the back there, you like fans don't you ? Ask your mummy or daddy to buy one for you...
    These fans are too big for you to fan your face cool from the heat, but they sure look nice hanging on your bedroom walls,....than those evil Limp Bizkit & satanic Linkin Park posters !

    Ask your mummy or daddy to BARGAIN for you !
