Still in South Borneo, this time I will discuss about shopping, tourist shopping here is different from the others. Usually, the market was on land, but this market is in the river, yes, the market over the river. This market is different from the market in general, in addition to the place that is above the river, this market does not use the building, but by boat.

Attarction

 

This market is commonly called the floating market. Actually there are two floating market which can be visited in South Kalimantan is the floating market in Muara Kuin and Lok Baintan. But to watch the floating market you have to be willing to get up early in the morning, because if you wake up during, the market will be quiet because the seller had gone home. There you will be treated to what it feels like there is no land, doing all the buying and selling activities on the water, shopping goods, or staples such as rice and other foodstuffs must deftly from boat to boat (do not imagine rice boat, used boat is a boat small or canoe) and if we buy food and eat there, eat even while rocking on a boat because the waves.

Do not worry for those of you who have not had breakfast at home because there are many sellers of food and as well as breakfast in the restaurant on the water here. Be careful when you jump to change the boat, because the slightest slip, the boat that rocked, if it can not keep the balance of your body, you can fall into the river.

And do not forget to bring cash, a pity if it is early in the morning wake up, but only saw, but did not buy anything, but it is also because there is no cash machine in this place, not because of minimal facilities, but it can not be placed in boats are not too wide.
