Admittedly, Sydney is an expensive city. According to The Economist magazine, Australia’s largest city located in the state of New South Wales is ranked seventh as a city with the highest cost of living in the world.
Therefore, do not be surprised if the price of goods and services in Sydney are quite expensive. It is not very favorable for tourists, especially those who only have limited funds. More-over for tourists from Indonesia, the Australian dollar exchange rate which is even now more expensive than the U.S. dollar increasingly unprofitable.
But do not worry. When you go to Sydney and want to buy their daily needs or buy souvenirs, there is a decent place ogled. His name is Paddy’s Market. This place is a modern market located in the Haymarket, near the Chinatown of Sydney.
At the front of Paddy’s Market, visitors can buy clothes, souvenirs and sundry items. Compared with other places, like shops in the area of ??The Rock, then the goods at Paddy’s Market could be at odds 2-5 Australian dollars per one item.
For example, a T-shirt at Paddy’s market can be obtained at a price of 5-7 dollars. Though practically if the prices in this market is the price right, it would not hurt if you bargain (especially if bought in large quantities). If you’re smart bargain, would have more money could be saved.
Moreover, in this place a lot of sellers who are from Asia, including Indonesia. Incidentally, I was shopping at a store owned by an Indonesian. Apparently, the peddler Indonesia recognize my face and immediately took a conversation with the Indonesian language.
Although not a guarantee you can get cheaper prices, chat with the Indonesian language you do not hesitate to make bargain prices.
Area merchants grocery items meets half of Paddy’s Market as a whole. In the back half, there are stalls selling food, vegetables and fresh fruits.
To surround this market, just takes patience. Maybe, if while looking at the number of kiosks, you just get out of this market within one hour. That was the fastest. The more diligently you look one by one stall that is, will the longer you are out of the market this modern and clean.
It is easy to reach the Paddy’s Market. In addition to a number of buses that pass through this place, the easiest way is to ride light rail – a train that the circuit consists of two carriages, serving routes near and inside the city – which stops at the station Paddy’s Market. Nearby, there is a monorail station is also named Paddy’s Market.
