Shoppers' paradise

My wife and I are visiting Indonesia for the second time and are once again delighted with your country. This time, due to the current exchange rate, the things we wish to buy are very inexpensive.

I would like to suggest that you do everything you can to tell the world that this beautiful country is not only a fascinating place for a tourist to visit but is also a shopper's paradise.
