3. Go shopping

on Thursday, October 30, 2008

When you go shopping in Bali, it's a fact that you have to deal with bargaining. When you're asking for the price, you'll probably be shocked by the amount. But don't worry, the Balinese expect you to bargain. Personally, I prefer to bargain in groups, as in I don't try to bargain first but look at the final price offered. I then bargain for a much lower price like that. This is quite effective in order to get lower prices. Don't bargain if u dont want that item though. Its quite rude.

For just some clothing or souvenirs, you can stick around the tourist areas. For art, you are better of in Ubud or a small village nearby. For silver, you can go to Celuk. As you might notice, there's a village for every product. Ask around or read in a travel book to find out where you can buy your things.
