Nothing bad about the gold experience. JL Handrahusin (or similar) is a street with about 15 gold shops all in a row. Not a lot of difference in price, but a little bargaining. Prices are quoted per gram & all pieces are marked with their Karat quality. Wife bought necklet & earings. Bag ladies also sit out the front with bags full of money & small set of scales buying back gold jewelry etc. Traffic in the area is very thick & noisy & a Mosque across the road has a loud speaker calling people to prayer.
