Here is how to shop when you are abroad

No holiday is complete without some retail therapy. Do you agree? Here's further reason to be convinced. Locally produced artefacts depict traditional craftsmanship of the region. This makes the gift truly unique and memorable. Here's how you must shop at flea markets abroad:

Trade in local currency:

The artisans selling their ware at the flea markets may not have a credit card machine with them and are more comfortable with local currency transactions.

Explore to know:

Unique gifts often come with a folklore attached. Interact with the maker and get to know details of the local gift items sold for good luck, better health or for decoration.
