have all different stuff in from Europe. One year they were all too big for me, the next too small! & no, I hadn't changed! But they often have fantastic labels there.
The night markets in Denpasar are great, BUT either you need a basic knowledge of numbers in bahasa Indonesia,or take someone with you to haggle on your behalf. I am FINALY getting better with numbers, and this year could almost have managed by myself, but people just talk so fast, and no matter how many times you say 'slowly, slowly'(sorr, forgot the indonesian word!), they just get excited!
