Pangandaran Shopping Tips by belgianchocolate Top 5 Page for this destination

Souvernirshops...: I've reported it...

We saw them all over town ,
but in this little street it was the worst.
Prepared sea turtles. I think it is sad to see
these endagered species varnished and
sold as a souvenir.

For your information , it are illegal souvenirs.
They are illegal on Java so IF you get them out
of the country , chances are little that you'll
get them into yours.

I know there are people who think that
C.I.T.E.S-law is a lot of bull.
And it probably isn't perfect.
I think it would be sad to loose a magnificient
species like this , just because some people
think they look better on a wall.
(and because of some profit made by selling them)

What to buy: NOTHING!


Not knowing things is not an excuse
Ignorance is a disease that can be cured.

I hope in the feature the government can
work out a plan to offer alternative ways of
getting an income. Most likely it will be
foreign organisations that will set up some
aid program.

I think it was quit fresh also. Fresh from the
oven they say themselves...and it had real
butter in it. That is rather a rare ingredient overhere.

The market.: A lot of local flair...

One day we went to the market...
I got a perfect orientation feeling. So we first
did our walk through the fields and
the we went searching for the market we
saw the day we arrived , not that far from
the bus stop.

It looks like every other market in Indonesia ,
a lot of wooden stalls , some food corners ,
a bit muddy , a ....
