Shopping wise in Bali
Traveling in Bali is not complete until you get some thing that will remain you on this tiny little island, yes… shopping. Shopping in Bali is fantastic especially you come with US $ with you, shop till drop in Bali…babe, since US $ exchange to Rp is consider HIGH. Shopping in Bali also sometimes annoying specially when you dealing with street vendor whose keep offering things from chess, post card, pencils, boxs and more even though you keep saying ” No Thank You” , they seem don’t take that answer . So, how do you “handle this situation”? but please keep in mind The street vendors are just the Balinese people who work to earn a living. They don’t have stall, or capital to start their own business. The easiest thing to take part in tourism industry is to become street vendors or “pedagang acung”. They just need merchandise to sell, and off they go.
Here are some tips to say no to street vendor nicely :
- Try this Indonesian expression of saying “No, thank you”, by saying “Tidak” or “Tidak, Terima Kasih.” (Pronounced “tee dhuk, tree ma ka sih”). The Idea, Why is Indonesian expression more effective? If you speak Indonesian, they will think you already lived or stayed long in Bali or Indonesia and souvenir is the last thing you need. And if you want to buy things, you will go to proper shop at another time. OR
- There is fun when buying from street vendors. You will get good deal sometimes if you want to buy T-shirt or sarong, just use your bargaining skill. And most important thing, it helps the local people if you buy from them.
Hopefully this tips works, Good Luck !!
