Shopping Galore in Indonesia
Article by AsiaIndia
Indonesia introduces numerous shopping opportunities. Choices are simply endless from street vendors selling authentic homemade wares to huge department stores. Most of the goods available here are cheaper than anywhere else; Asian shopaholics are known to travel here every year for a spot of retail therapy. Bali is the best place to go for local arts and crafts, while bigger cities such as Jakarta and Yogyakarta are better known amongst seekers of mainstream and luxury brands.
Prices maybe established fix in department stores, yet normally it is possible to bargain on the price of goods and services throughout the country, from unmetered taxis to souvenir stands. The rule of thumb when it comes to bargaining business is to start low, then slowly let the shopkeeper bring up the price to a third or half of his/her original quoted price, depending on what you’re buying and where you’re making the purchase. The shopping hours here are from 08:30 to 20:00, with some shops closed on Sundays. In Muslim areas, some shops are closed for a few hours around Friday lunchtime for prayers.
In comparison with the West, Indonesia as a Muslim country , most commercial places are kept open on Sunday. Most commercial places and shopping malls have increasing visitors on Sundays and even national holidays which results very often to be crowded. So if you plan to go to Indonesian malls and shopping centres, weekdays (Monday to Friday) is the best time to visit. Shopping malls and commercials open at around 10 am, and street shops and traditional markets open as early as 6 am, and close at around 8 to 9 pm. Twenty-four hours stores (not malls) is mostly found in major cities.
Lombok’s Shopping
Lombok’s potential dares the mass-produced flow of products many of us have come to associate with modern consumer culture. Pottery, basket weaving and textiles are the three main crafts produced in Lombok, a place where visitors should take advantage of local handmade, high-quality and unique products. Highly skilled craftsmen create amazingly innovative and inventive furniture, clothes and jewelry, the sort of stuff you won’t find too often on anyone else’s mantelpiece or in wardrobes back home. Keeping with the romantic theme of the island, pearls can be found in abundance. Eye-watering price tags are few and far between so essentially you will pay less for more.
Bali Shopping
Practically everybody comes to Bali to shop, and even if shopping wasn’t the ultimate aim, you’ll still end up with fascinating and irresistible buys. Bali is a treasure trove of fine art and handicrafts, antique and semi-antique furniture, paintings, delicately carved jewelry, wood and stone carvings, masks, woven and dyed fabrics.
Bargaining in markets, shops and art shops, is normal practice and getting a good price depends largely on one’s bargaining prowess. As bargaining forms a large part of the fun of shopping in Bali, remember to carry cash, as not all places accept credit cards – and be good humored. Shops are usually open from 10am to 11pm.
International labels, local designer clothes plus skillful tailors and dressmakers offer reliable 24-hours services. Shops selling similar items are normally grouped together to make comparing prices easy, and if the shop you’re in doesn’t have a particular color or size, wouldn’t it be easy to just pop over next door!
Jakarta Shopping
From unique handicrafts to fashion design labels and latest gadgets in technology, Jakarta has something for everyone. As diverse as the products are, so are the shopping environments. Like any capital city, world-class mega-malls, stacked with international brands, are high-end and much swarmed by both locals and tourists. Beyond the air conditioned walls of the contained shopping centers, downtown Jakarta (the old neighborhoods around the South of the city) displays abundance of stores selling various products, including batiks, silks and unique handicrafts.
‘Pasars’ (markets) are jam packed with interesting finds, hence entails a lot of patience along with good bargaining skills. The usual procedure is to start off with a counter offer of 40% of the asking price and settle at 50%-60% of the original asking price.

How To Select Your Preferred Bali Hotels
Article by Made Dertha
Bali is a wonderful island situated in Indonesia, the ultimate tourist destination in Asia, is worth a visit. Most people come to Bali for its beach, waves, sun, some come for business, some come for its undying art and culture, some come for its breathtaking landscapes and some for pure relaxation.
Choosing Bali for your holiday destination, of course you should select and decide your preferred Bali Hotel which would match your interests. There are myriad of accommodations to choose from in Bali, from five-star luxury hotels to budget accommodations.
Bali Hotels by locations: Accommodations by the sea (has beach front), in town and hotels are situated in countryside. Or Bali Hotels by interest (boutique hotels, villas, small hotels in traditional Balinese style bungalow and big or leading Bali Hotels).
Every place has its own attractions and features:Sanur: Famed for its white sandy beach, sun rise, sea activities, close to other places of interest. Is for gracious living, peaceful and quiet. More “international” but somehow far less cosmopolitan than frenetic Kuta. There are so many excellent hotels here that you can scarcely go wrong.
Kuta: Frenetic, sometime chaotic, noisy, lots of hype, but a great playground. Originally what drew visitors to Kuta was the wide beach and the surf. It still has best sea front on the island. Kuta also famed for its shopping, dine and night lives. Though there are now many first-class hotels and home stays, caters best to the economy traveler who likes to be in the thick of things.
Legian & Seminyak: Lie at the north end of Kuta Beach strip. This is the place to stay if you want the best of both worlds. Conveniently located within 15 minutes from the center of Kuta, yet safely removed from the nerve-wrecking intensity and hype. The villages are perfect for extended vacations. There are several first-class hotels, a great number of intermediate-range bungalow, and inexpensive accommodations.
Nusa Dua & Tanjung Benoa: The area is rather isolated from the rest of Bali. Nusa Dua is providing a “total” hotel environment, everything you could possibly ask for is available on the premises. White sandy beach and a wide range of sea activities.
Jimbaran bay: Has nice and wide beach, good sunset (weather permitted), and close to Airport. There are two leading hotels, good villas and nice hotels in Balinese style bungalow.
Ubud & environs: The heart of arts and cultures of Bali. There are many small resorts deluxe and intermediate accommodations, most blend of typical Balinese and modern amenities.

There are a deluxe hotel and some intermediates and budget hotels.Candi Dasa: The beach (at low tide, at high tide there IS no beach) because it has been eroded by the waves, but Candi Dasa offer restful vacation. There are first-class, intermediate and inexpensive hotels. You will be treated here with the utmost of graceful service.
The North:Lovina beach: A northern beachfront alternative to Kuta and Sanur, this is a serene and infrequently visited vacation spot. Black sand beaches and quite waters nestles inside of extensive coral reefs distinguish this idyllic beach. Snorkeling is superb here and the reef is close enough that even children and beginner swimmers can feel comfortable here. There are first-class, intermediate and inexpensive hotels.
Western Beaches:Up along this coast north of Kuta and Legian lies a stretch of black sand beach with a dangerous reef and heavy undertow, these beaches are not ideal for swimming and beginner surfers. At Canggu there are some luxury hotels. Yeh Gangga boast a small luxury resort Waka Gangga is facing the Indian Ocean. Tanah Lot boast a leading hotel Le Meridian and a world championship golf course with breathtaking view of famous Tanah Lot temple and sunset.
Western Interior:Bedugul: This mountain resort is famous for its air, restful and serene. There are a number of places to stay here, from luxury hotels to budget accommodations (losmen).
The quickest and easiest way to select your preferred Bali Hotels is to go online and visit hotel reservation website.

Map of Bali
Article by Rene Whitfield
You will find Bali located three miles off the west coast of Java with a relatively little land area of just over 5,000km; Bali could fit into Australia over 1,200 times. From the tip of Bali in the north to the tip of the island in the south is only 55miles and east to west it’s only ninety miles, so getting around the island is reasonably simple and the longest drive that you would need to do in order to get to any resort would be two hours at the most. The most well liked Bali hotel resorts are situated in the south of the island with a couple of others along the west and east coast. Nusa Dua is the most southern resort that is favored by visitors, although you may find other less known ones a bit further south. The roads around the coast of Bali are generally in fine condition, it is when you leave the main stretch that you are going to find the roads are very seldom maintained to any standard and are typically just dust tracks frequently impassible by 2 vehicles and you need to be wary of folk and animals that use not only these side roads but the main roads to walk on. Heading along the west coast from Nusa Dua you will come to Jimbaran another extremely popular and busy holiday maker resort. Perhaps 10 minutes further along you’ll go by Ngurah Rai International airport that is used as a gateway for the remainder of Indonesia. Kuta and South Kuta are perhaps another 20 mins drive from here and this is where you’ll find the most commercialised area of Bali. Not only are the hotels designed to accommodate many tourists, but the leisure facilities and the shopping areas very tourist orientated. The drive from here to the tip of the west coast will take you past some of the more up market visitor destinations of Bali. Legian and Seminyak are situated along the west coast and offer more luxurious accommodation including personal beaches, gardens and swimming pools. The rest of the drive up the west coast will take you past many places to remain, but they are not the famous or popular resorts or hotels. For the holiday maker who likes isolated areas there’ll be lots of places to remain along this western section of Bali without all of the trappings and crowds of the gigantic visitor places. From here you might head inland in an easterly direction and you will come to Ubud which is situated in the mountainous area of Bali. The landscape is worlds apart compared to the coastal resorts. Here you’ll be encircled by lush tropical rain forests with stunning views of the mountains and volcanoes. Driving further east you’ll shortly come to the eastern shore, where there are some popular resorts. As with the resorts further up the west coast you’ll find these are way more expensive than the southern areas because of the wonderful diving locations around this area. The well known resorts on the east coast are Candi Dasa and Sanur. After you get to Sanur you can take a detour inland and come to Denspanar, the capital of Bali. Although this is not actually a popular traveller destination due to its lack of beaches, night life and shopping malls, it remains worth taking time out to explore. From Denspanar you would drive south again and before you get to Nusa Dua where you started from, you’ll pass Tanjung Benoa a very popular, but very up market area. Tanjung Benoa is situated on the tip of the peninsula and has striking views of the ocean. As far as the most visited and popular places in Bali go, those are the better known ones, but Bali offers so much more. There are such a lot of more Bali hotels situated all around the island and on some of the smaller islands just around the coast. Bali is surely an island to be explored and visiting one of the lesser know towns will give you a much better understanding of the genuine Balinese lifestyle.
