Sarongs in Seminyak Bali
Seminyak is a shoppers paradise. That is if you like artwork and clothes. Down the street from New Planet on Jl. Seminyak is a shop called Lawas, that sells textiles and tribal arts. The shop is very small but really has some lovely batik sarongs. I asked the assistant from Klungkung where the sarongs were from and she said Bali and Java. I asked where the best sarongs were from and she said Java because they were true batik sarongs, hand-painted, while the others were printed. I felt like I was in Aladdins cave with all the brightly colored textiles hanging all over the place.
Some of the batik sarongs on display had an asking price of between 500,000-1,500,000rp. The definition of a market price is the price someone is willing sell for at the same time someone else is willing to buy for. You can talk to the Man U fans in England, they have just gotten a lesson in what market price is all about.
I picked out a nice sarong for my friends wife who recently gave birth and got a discount. This shop is a good place to at least browse and for people looking to pick up a last minute gift.

G’Day Nick,
It is said that the best batik comes out of Yogyakarta. Nah, I’m not biased!.
The less said about MU at the moment the better!. I can see them in the 1st Division by this time next year.
After Aresenal’s 7-0 hammering of Everton, I must admit I am a tad worried about MU’s chances in the FA Cup.

Yes, the bet is still on if you are up to it mate!.

Hi, Nick!
I’d browse for hours. I love those Indonesian stuffs (including the bamboo lamps). Besides, compared to the prices at home, they are very inexpensive.
