Shopping opportunities in Indonesia
Shopping can be seen as a national sport for Indonesians, both honorary and native. The immense variety of shopping malls, markets and boutiques make Indonesia a shopper’s paradise.
Like most countries in Asia, Indonesia boasts extravagant world-class malls with designer stores galore, as well as smaller local designer boutiques. Bargaining is expected so be prepared to negotiate prices until finding a good discount of about 10 to 20 percent. Check out the table below for average pricing in USD,
