Across the street from New Planet hairdresser on Jl. Seminyak is a little hole in the wall place called Ratih Shop. Ratih sells art, handicrafts, place mats, wood dishes and lamps. Here in Bali you can pick up some wonderful accessories to decorate your home with and I browsed for a few minutes. The owner Wayan was nursing her young child and gave me a few prices on items. One of the things I liked were the tall bamboo lamp shades, which were going for 150,000rp. They also had a wide selection of bamboo trays including ones with the very finely cut bamboo strips, great for serving light snacks at home. Wayan told me the trays were sold in sets of 3 and the thin strip ones were 150,000rp, the wide strip ones 60,000rp.
If you bargain for a while those prices fall. For the lowest deal follow the Jakarta tactic of staking up some large items, then piling up some cheaper ones and then tell them what you will give them for the whole lot. They often cannot resist making a discount on a large order.
Just along from Cafe Moka, you might check out Ratih Shop next time you go for a croissant and latte.

Hi Nick, this is probably not related to your article, but do you know if Galleria in Nusa Dua is still opened?
A friend went to Bali 2 weeks ago and said that it has been closed down.
Thanks heaps!
