Shopping Centre shopping in Indonesia

    Jeans Street

    Advertising is one thing, but a 20ft-high plaster statue of Rambo? Bandung's celebrated 'Jeans' Street, Jl Cihampelas, is the place where seeing is believing. Traditionally the home of the city's thriving textile industry, this congested drag, in the affluent northern suburbs of Bandung, is now a menagerie of kitsch plaster giants, looming over shops competing with one another for the top spot in the city's booming denim trade.

    The jeans are definitely cheap; just don't expect to look like a Dean or a Monroe when you slip them on.

Shopping centres are the place to be for most Makassarese.

  3. Gramedia Bookshop

    Finding English reading material in Sumatra is a hassle and Medan's slim pickings is a bumper crop compared to other stops on the road. Gramedia bookshop, Medan Mall; is good for maps and paperbacks. There is another branch in the Sun Plaza.

    The Blok M Mall, above the large bus terminal, has scores of small, reasonably priced shops offering clothes, shoes, CDs and DVDs. Most goods are of a better standard than those found in Mangga Dua, but only just.
