How difficult it seems sometimes to suggest a new place on BTF without being knocked for it.
Congratulations on making the effort to help a Balinese form a new business and self employment. The old story...don't give fish...give a fishing rod!
I have always wondered why local traders around Melasti/Sahadewa/Padma have not taken note of Ketuts success and business strategy...they still continue to hassle and start on outrageous prices.
It was therefore wonderful to see a shop on Jl Padma change to Fixed Price recently. Shop is owned by Anton, opposite Mozzarella, and just down from Kenko Reflexology. Neighbours are a bit jealous and will try to divert you. Anton himself is so pleasant. The knitted lacy long sleeve jackets are 30,000 and dresses, pants etc are 50,000
Does bulk lots and arranges to go by DHL if need be.
I would like Forumites to try him out to encourage his initiative, and enjoy hassle free shopping.
