Shopping
Over the last decade, Jakarta has become a major shopping destination, with numerous brand-new, air-conditioned shopping malls springing up all over the city, competing for popularity with long-established malls such as Blok M. International department store chains such as Sogo, Mark’s and Spencer’s and Metro, have also made an appearance, enriching Jakarta's shopping scene. A perfect souvenir might include traditional items, such as ikat and batik textiles, wood carvings from Bali and other islands, antique pottery and Dutch colonial antiques (though these are very often faked). Many international sports and leisure wear brands have factories in Jakarta, and sports footwear, sports clothing and designer wear are available at convenient prices.
