Too early for Christmas shopping?

I took a stroll down to one of the bazaars and decided to do a little bit of window shopping. I go down there every two weeks or so but this time I had a few spare minutes and remembered to take some pictures! 

The bazaar is home to all sorts of random shops and it's crowded with different kinds of goods from fur vests to fake oakleys and hand made wooden boxes. There is no wall space and the shop owners love to stop you and hand out their wares for you to see first hand. 
Between the shoppers, the owners and the crowded walls it's quite a tight fit! 

There are different types of shops; electronics, jewelry, fabrics, decor, and odds and ends. 

This shop is stocked with movies from floor to ceiling, it's a pretty good selection, but you have to be careful not to grab one that is too recent or it will be a copy that was recorded in a theater! The movies are incredibly cheap because they are illegally copied and pirated so it's always a gamble on quality. For instance I have a copy of The Hangover 3 and it's in English with Chinese subtitles! This shop also sells "beats by dre" (fake ones of course) and fake bose speakers.

Other shops choose to sell more local merchandise.

There are a handful of little shops with jewelry, nicknacks and cute little decorative items. 

I have to resist buying things for my daughter every time! But you better believe she's going to have some great additions to her room and her dress-up clothes when I come home! 

Along with the belly dancer clothes they have some pretty scarves and shirts (none were on a photo-worthy display, sorry).

They also have rug vendors wherever they can set up shop.

This one is an actual room but others are in hallways, outside or wherever else they can find room.

I am definitely planning on buying a rug or two, but I need to do a little research or quality and price before I try to bargain. I don't go buy things here without doing my homework! 

They have lots of pretty wood work, stone carvings, chess sets (great gift ideas) etc. 

I will definitely be buying a chess set for my son.

And if anyone likes these types of decorations you'll have to let me know; I can buy things and mail them to you.

But of course the bazaar wouldn't be complete with out odds and ends stores that sell "American" things like nail polish remover, hair dye, and cologne. They also sell knock off bags and luggage.

Coach, anyone? Burberry? I could probably get it for $20 but I can't guarantee the quality of the not-so-brand-names. Speaking of high fashion, we can't forget the stylish men's clothes they sell:

If anyone wants anything while I'm out here (especially a furry vest!!) just let me know and I can pick it up for you.

I plan on doing a little bit of my Christmas shopping out here, so if you're on my list and you see things you like, let me know!
