flea market; one of the reasons why i miss my life in KL

flea market is like a trend nowadays.
there's a lot of flea market especially in KL. for instance, Bijou Bazaar, few flea market at amcorp mall, PJ, night flea market at cheras and danau kota, and many more.

i've been there a few times before. we can find a lot of attractive stuffs there.

for bijou bazaar, people who are earn money through their online boutique especially blogspot did their offline business here, by building their brands and find their customer database, to create an awareness to customers about their online boutique. many of the seller here sell apparels and accessories especially for girls.



compare to flea market in amcorp mall, their focus more on home decor stuffs, books, old posters, old cassettes and cds, and old records. their target market also different because most of the customers are working people and adults who are looking for a new bits and pieces for their lovely house.


bijou bazaar, they're attract more youngsters by provide live performance while the customer enjoy their shopping. they also provide more activities besides shopping, such as art exhibition and of course introduced new bands by giving them an opportunity to perform at the bazaar.


in Malacca on the other hands, Jonker Walk is a well known flea market among the local and tourist. if i'm not mistaken, Jonker Walk is the only one flea market in Malacca (besides pasar malam). the sellers here sell many things such as accessories, souvenirs, pictures, t-shirts, beverages, chinese food (because the majority of the sellers here are chinese), decor for rooms and many more. there is also karaoke live performance by the chinese older people at the Jonker Walk stage. besides Jonker Walk, there's one more night flea market in Malacca called downtown also, it is located at Jalan Hang Tuah. however this flea market is not there anymore.


i wish there is more flea market in Malacca like bijou bazaar to create a competitive advantage for current flea market in Malacca. the reason why this suggestion is given is because Malacca have become a center of attention especially for the youngsters. more gigs and events will be held here (whether organized by the government or other organization) and this will give an opportunity to youngsters to earn extra money and have a constructive activity at the same time. plus this will attract more people to come to Malacca and give them a variety of places to visit.


last but not least,
