00:00Christmas is just hours away and Petaling Street is buzzing with last-minute shoppers
00:12looking for gifts and decorations with both locals and tourists flocking to the popular
00:17street market.
00:18Well, it happens every year, as always.
00:21I'm looking for garlands and wreaths, basically all the decorations for Christmas that I haven't
00:27done yet.
00:28I'm just doing it all right now.
00:30Yeah, I think this year maybe a lot more Malaysians are Christmas shopping last minute so that's
00:36why the prices are slightly higher.
00:38I don't know, yeah.
00:40The place is always very cheap so we can even find a lot of things compared to other places
00:46and it's unique as well, all the items.
00:49Challenging, very last minute, you cannot bargain the price with a lot of shops.
00:54So that's the only challenge part of it.
00:58While some fine last-minute shopping comes with high prices, others have uncovered hidden
01:07spots offering great deals at affordable prices.
01:11Besides locals, foreigners are also excited to shop for local goods this Christmas, especially
01:17in Central Market and finding the holiday season in Malaysia to be a unique and enjoyable
01:24experience.
01:26I shopped a lot of typical Christmas gifts.
01:31I think that would be a gift for them or that is a good souvenir also during the trip.
01:40I looked for markets like this and then just looking around.
01:45Yeah, we've only landed yesterday and tonight we are flying out, but I'm really surprised
01:52because I was not expecting to see many Christmas trees and decorations.
01:58Yeah, souvenirs are good.
02:01Some are really unique.
