(Shopping art)
(Carve) Shopping can be exciting yet arduous at the same time. While shopping in Ubud, the major marketplace in central Bali, we saw many truly beautiful carvings and works of art. You'll want one of everything! In the larger villages, you'll find ten or twenty similar stores in a row, each with the same wares for sale, and every shopowner wants you to buy from them. But look around before you buy. We walked up some back alleys and found the same goods for much less and the owners really appreciate your business. In hindsight, two days in Ubud would have been enough time to find everything desired.
(Women) Of the wood carvings, the three dimensional reliefs are the most amazing works of art. They require a skilled touch and hundreds of hours of paintstakingly detailed work.
