Bargains in Bali - Gold, Fabrics and Furry Friends

Another wander through downtown Denpasar to check out the hundreds of fabric and textile sellers, gold and silver merchants and even some local pet stores.

If i had not known you were in Bali..i was sure it was Little India in Singapore...so much tge same.. Amazing. Been to Bali so many time but had no idea all the Gold/Fabric place existed. So there you go..another great variety that you just know how to present. Was hoping to hear some news on Damien. Thank you for the wonderful effort you go to, although it does not look like effort. It seems a natural course of events for you. Keep up the great work😊

Mate the RSPCA would have a field day in that animal market, don’t get me wrong I would love to have a squirrel as a pet, but it would be impossible here in Aussie land, interesting insight into Bali 👍🇦🇺

[@SharonHare]

Spun me out the animals they had for sale….the owls…baby turtles…the bat…the coloured chickens…the huge lizards…they had everything there you could think off…and yep the RSPA would shut that down in no time…but hey it’s Bali it’s not Australia…

[@katieeast4255]

Vie l laughed so much at you both at Pasar Hewan ❤ it was always my happy place and so many animals came home with me from there.

Fabolous Fabric shopping @ Sulewesi Street , across from Bandung Markets most shops alomg that shopping strip open around 10.00am Variety /choices is mind bogling. You have to be prepared to be hassled!!! big time . There are touts / ladies who get a commission from shop owners , they can be a real nuisance , pain in the bum, aggressive at times and very persisant-- glad to see Muzza and Vee didn"t have that issue I really enjoy a stroll along that area, a visit to Denpasar isnt complete with out a visit to Sulwesi St I get a driver for half a day, visit shops, have lunch at Hong Kong Chinese Resturant -- near Bandang day market or go later in the day and end up at Night Markets Either way a vist to Bali is complete with out a visit to Denpasar i don't visit the gold sellers so can commet

[@williamgreen1512]

Funny one😂 , ironically my partner from West Java whom I’m helping apply for jobs in Bali as a trained vet, saw an opening just yesterday in the town your in .

[@deniseorourke7235]

Thank-you muzza I’m a quilter and I was wondering about the fabrics

[@aussiejos4453]

[@aussiejos4453]

I love going up the fabrics street omg so much to chose from. As for gold street I am in heaven.

[@maureenbarclay8131]

Thanks for that looks some place 👍👍

[@massimo0821]

Jalan Sulawesi. Fantastic choice of fabrics. That whole area is a must for Balinese culture. Not all about beaches and bintangs. If you know you know. ✌️

[@johnollerenshaw3077]

Makes me upset to see animals in cages, especially if they are taken from the wild.

[@marlenesullivan3113]

ME TOO- IT'S VERY CRUEL, THAT HEAT WOULD BE UNBEARABLE.

I second that

It was so beautiful to see that Buddhist lady buying birds to let them go free!!

Damn, I just got back from 2wk trip in august, went to Toko Central and got my threads but had no idea how to find this. I would of need 2 extra bags... Im a serial sewer and love these fabrics, quess ill just have to come back to shop.. cheers.

[@johncavar2914]

Amazing 👏

[@shaunscully1173]

Muzza do u remember the Tv show - bj McKay and his best friend bear! All us kids from that era wanted a monkey because of that show…. Lol

[@suezeeq]

Great vid. Sad to see how those animals are kept. Some in the direct sun without shade options in their cages. Did you deliberately not show the monkeys?

[@MurrayWilkinson1]

they said they had or could get one but we did not see it

[@1chickenpig]

When the gold lady gave you a price to buy at $100 per gram I'm assuming she meant Australian hundred as if she meant USA $100 per gram that is a lot more than current gold spot price. One of those big fat gold necklaces will do me if I'm feeling indulgent and reckless 😅

[@haveabongbro]

did one of them birds get released into oncoming traffic 😂😂

[@mickjones1293]

Muzza I know this is off topic but where do you get the white linen shirt you are wearing. I tried to find last trip in August but couldn't find them anywhere. Thanks Micka.

[@MurrayWilkinson1]

there is a brand-store called "Made in bali" they are in Seminyak, Kuta, Sanur and everything is $30 and good quality

[@lbtheblindman]

We went there Two legs or four is an under estimate almost any number can be found there it is amazing if you never been there

[@thisllub]

Keeping the missus away from Kohinoor is one of my goals every time we are in Bali.

[@stephenallen4374]

Remember how much you have to carry back have fun😅

[@greggssiirr-cn7lw]

[@KayDrury]

Muzza is there places where I can get boots made. I'm bringing over the pair I have so they can copy them Is this possible?

WITH ALL THAT HEAT IT'S CRUEL.

[@StumpysTravel]

I there a area in Bali like this where you can buy toys for kids at a good price if you are looking at 100 items or so.

[@MurrayWilkinson1]

there are many toy wholesalers

[@charliemicallef6307]

Muzza What the name of the area were pets are sold

[@anthonydowling3356]

Pasar Hewan

[@StumpysTravel]

Mourning price?

[@anthonydowling3356]

Morning price ? Yes if its the Sellers first sale of the day.

[@maureenbarclay8131]

What is it like for parking driving own car no hires

[@MurrayWilkinson1]

horrid, driving here is a nightmare because there are so many scooters on both sides of the car and you can never see them, Parking is also a nightmare. I have a car and we ONLY take it when we have to. it takes 15 mins to Kuta from here on a bike, and can easily be over 1 hour in a car

[@maureenbarclay8131]

Thanks for parking situation

[@StumpysTravel]

Vee I pay you to keep monkey who like cheese and bourbon 😅

[@pennreelfishing]

I have a favour to ask you. I want to buy myself a thick gold necklace in Bali when I come over in November. I will pay you 100 Australian dollars if you can help me. Because I love Asian gold because it’s bright in colour. From a Aitutaki Cook Islander

[@MurrayWilkinson1]

I can definitely point you in the right direction. look me up on facebook so you can message me

[@Ludo-logy]

I find their attitude and treatment of animals to be both barbaric and inhumane. Why is it that Asian countries are all the same in this regard?

[@MurrayWilkinson1]

1 man's meat is another man's poison. By your standards it is not right, by theirs it is survival.. Don't forget the Buddhist lady that spent over $100 on birds just to release them to the sky.

[@Ludo-logy]

@@MurrayWilkinson1 I have no problem with anyone needing to survive, but there are a lot more animals in these types of markets than are just for food. It's more about the conditions they are kept in and their treatment that I dislike. Yep, it's great that the Buddhist lady was releasing the birds, but at the same time they had to be caught and stored for her to do that, and many are caught specifically for this reason and other religious rituals. I've been to Japan, South Korea, China, Burma, Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia, so I'm well aware of the living condition and hardships that many people in these areas have to live. But that doesn't mean they shouldn't treat animals better .. having more of a Buddhist approach.
