Spreading all over Bali are some magnificent shopping areas that you can spend days at browsing the various unusual shops. The majority of the popular Bali hotels and resorts are situated in the south of the island and Kuta has for some time been the focus of visitor action, so it is expected that the most commercial and trendy shopping area has been built here. The other area in Bali that provides a shopping experience that is poles apart is Ubud. Ubud is the artistic and creative heart of Bali and this is where you will find superb art works to take home.
Bali Shopping is not just a matter of going into a store, selecting an item and then paying for it, it is meant to be fun and making an attempt to get a bargain is part of the excitement.
Kuta art market is a great place to sharpen your bartering talents while shopping. In Indonesia countries it is accepted that you're going to try and barter when you're purchasing something, the owners will not get insulted if you try and get a cheaper cost. Haggling is a technique of life there and if done in a friendly way, you'll shortly be giggling away with the shop keeper, declaring bankruptcy and waving your hands all over the place. If after your bartering attempts have not brought you any joy, explain the price is too high and slowly walk off the majority of the time the shop keeper will call you back with a far better offer.
It is best to wander around first before buying anything as prices can dramatically alter even a few stalls apart. Quality of items can also alter and you need to ensure you are paying a fair price for whatever you are buying. The shops are full of Balinese home made crafts that are not really unique and are rather mass produced, although you'll be told that they are definitely originals, if you are really looking for quality hand made Balinese art work it is better to make a journey up to the mountainous area of Ubud.
The mementos that you'll find in Bali range from the inexpensive fridge magnets to the more stunning designs that are made by the Balinese people. For the most fantastic artwork Ubud is definitely the place to go. The entire area is enclosed by little towns that have specialized in a certain craft or art for centuries, passing their knowledge down from generation to generation. Woodcarvings are extremely well-liked as a gift or keepsake as they are intensely intricate and the sculptures can be of just about anything.
Many ladies in Bali still weave their own fabric and materials and the designs that are made and are a good present for somebody. Although Ubud is situated in the interior it is straightforward enough to find. The majority of the hotels offer Bali tours of the island or you will find a business close by which will offer various tours which will include one to Ubud.
