On the first trip I made to Serikin market that I was surprised to locks of long hair, shiny black, well wrapped and tied, which was sold to one of the tents on the market today. I suspect that the real purpose would be used to make wigs. There were also goats skins for sale, which can be used as a decorative carpet in the living room, maybe. But I wanted to buy human hair or animal skin for various purposes.

The Serikin relaxing around town, a small village in rural Dayak Bidayuh sperm, which lasted an hour and a half of Kuching City. Serikin was near the border between Malaysia and Indonesia, Sarawak-Kalimantan border.

The market consists of a two-mile stretch of tents and simple huts built on the sides of a narrow road. The road was frequently crossed by people and vehicles, little by little, as if there were no traffic lights or stop signs around. And there was, in fact. The parking portion of RM2.00 per message is appropriate. However, on weekends when the crowd would be on top, looking for a parking lot in the market and try Serikin a needle in a haystack.

The market Serikin first impression has a variety of color images and sounds … There was a sense of chaos in the air, with rows of tents and huts randomly positioned and aligned on the road. It was also very noisy with groups of merchants, customers, passers-by and talk with other pedestrians, and negotiating prices for fly back and forth. The large amount of merchandise to see or buy has contributed to the cacophony of noise and confusion, but that’s what a visit to the market Serikin fun and exciting.

I could almost see almost everything under the sun Serikin market, and reasonably priced … cheep, cheap, cheap, like yellow chicks were singing. Negotiation of prices was widespread, even expected, and a great result for bargain hunters and sellers. Even if you do not buy anything in the end, there was concern over, as traders remained optimistic and sellers. After all, this was an essential part of business for them. There were stalls with a variety of fresh and packaged foods and treats such as candy, cookies, local Kueh (cakes), herbs, honey, syrup bottles, fruits and vegetables. The range of boats for sale was crazy. There were arts and crafts beads or shells or wood carvings. There was a lot of flashing, blinking jewelry rings, earrings, bracelets and necklaces that dazzled the eyes.

Some booths were selling or review ornamental plants in pots and even guitars for the musical. In addition, sunglasses, umbrellas, toys, household items made of curtains of pots and pans, and hand-made rattan furnishings. Other stalls selling souvenirs such as keychains, which can be recorded, sports caps, jerseys and practical objects such as boxes of tissues.

Appeals to men and women, clothes, there was a wide range of clothing for men and women, straight or embroidery. There were shorts, pants, skirts, shirts, dresses, jackets and sarongs (large tubular fabric batik-pattern).
