点评:We arrived in Zambia a couple days before out Safari started so we could go to the Sunday Craft Market at Arcades Mall. We heard there were two different markets but the driver at our lodge, Wild Dogs, suggested this one which was actually a little closer than the other. It had everything we wanted (I had a list so it made shopping easy) and the driver stayed with us the whole time helping to translate local prices to US dollars. We walked the whole market one time before buying to see what was there and on the second loop we started purchasing. Most smaller carvings (not giraffe with is more intricate) started off at $10 each but we got them for $5 when we bought 2 from the same person. Lots of clothes, fabric, and other items. Sellers were not at all pushy. So glad we made time to go there, I am all set with Christmas gifts now!
翻译:我们的游猎之旅开始前几天就抵达了赞比亚,因此得以去阿卡德斯购物中心的周日手工艺品市场逛一逛。我们听说那里有两个不同的市场,但我们下榻的“Wild Dogs”旅馆的司机推荐了这一个,它实际上比另一个市场离我们更近一些。市场上有我们想要的一切商品(我事先列好了购物清单,所以采购起来很顺利),而那位司机全程都陪着我们,还帮我们把当地价格换算成美元。我们在购买之前先在市场上逛了一圈,看看都有什么商品;第二轮逛的时候才开始采购。大多数较小的雕刻品(那只长颈鹿的雕刻较为复杂些)原价都是10美元一件,但当我们从同一个摊主那里买了两件后,价格就降到了5美元每件。市场上还有大量衣服、布料及其他物品。摊主们也丝毫没有强行推销。真高兴我们抽时间去了那里,现在我的圣诞礼物都备齐啦!
