Hi tulipsgal,

I hope i am not discouraging ppl to buy from the handicapped centre, but i see those art pices selling much cheaper in cho lon ( ie andong plaza) . the handicap centre quote their art works in USD wheras you can still bargin abit at Andong plaza.

nt really.....the mkt is divided into clusters, based on what pdt selling, it's juz one big 2 storey building, n wet markets etc outside the building, not like a whole street..............outsie that area...i thk nothg much.....most prob ppl wun understd eng liao from there.......i dun rem seeing handicrafts there?....mostly leather goods, shoes, bags, clothing....n other stuffs meant for locals.....

of coz if wan juz handicrafts....wun be as big as the handicapped handicraftcentre.....but benh thah mkt have quite few stalls.....can try luck there also.....
