Bedugul Traditional Market — Attraction in Pulau Bali

Same souvenirs sold here as anywhere else in Bali at an absorbent price. If you want the souvenirs at a good rate, go to Krishna Oleh Oleh, you will not regret it.

The fruits, you can negotiate for a good rate so we bought a lot of mangosteens and rambutans. Avoid the strawberries. We bought a packet and it was sour, not sweet. If you can get nice big sweet juicy ones in your home country, don't bother with these. You think you are getting nice ones but it's all a bit squashed at the bottom already, even if they tempt you to pick your own to put in the container, they pick it for you. Also, mold started to grow on the leftovers we had saved to eat for the next day. Very disappointing.

I was too tired to get into a debate or argument about how much I should pay so I just left it. I wonder how many people do the same as me. In the west, we just are not so used to fighting over prices. We take it or leave it and hope that competition brings the prices to the...

A colorful local market filled up into capacity with all possible fruits and vegetables from the local plantations. Some parts of the market, however, deal in inexpensive handicrafts, clothing, and jewelries. Among the most favorite fruits on display are locally-grown strawberry, passion fruit, multiples sorts of manggo, tamarilo, Balinese grapefruit, Balinese mandarin, dragon fruit, and salak (known as the snake-skin fruit). Almost each and every stall also sells assorted chips, crackers, cashew, and fried peanuts. Additionaly, they also offer smoking boiled sweetcorn. There are so many hawkers vending around with their rather unique articles such as watches. Since there are no fixed prices for any items, bargaining skills are demanded to...
