Name of Shop: Handicraft Blong Vanuatu market in Port Vila

Foreign cash, travellers cheques and major international credit cards (Amex, Diners, JCB, Mastercard and Visa) are widely accepted. Bankcard is not normally accepted.
Most shops close for 'siesta' 11.30am to 1.30pm. Eating places, banks, supermarkets and the Post Office do not observe siesta. Shops open on Saturday morning and some speciality shops and supermarkets open on Sunday morning. Suburban general stores
open early and close late seven days a week.

What To Buy: The colourful market in the town centre
operates every day except Sundays for flowers, fruit, vegetables and handicrafts.
Handicraft Blong Vanuatu, located in the centre of Port Vila provides a wide selection of authentic handicrafts from many islands of Vanuatu.

What To Pay: PAY what's asked! Usually taged wares.

No bargaining please, it goes against local tradition.
