Damansara Uptown : Night Life

I headed down to Damansara Uptown a few weekends ago.

This place never ceases to amaze me. It's a melting pot of Western culture and Eastern sensibilities.

In other words, you can practically find ANY pirated good you'd like to purchase here from pirated DVDs and music CDs to fake watches, jeans & shoes, clothes, specs and shades, bags & pouches, etc.

This tends to attract Malaysians from all walks of life; but these days, more and more of the Mat Rempit (Local Biker Gangs) crowd.

High fashion has indeed trickled down to the masses ladies and gentleman, looking at the number of fake Guccis, Pradas, and Rolexes on sale.

Specs Galore!


Bags & Pouches


Fake Shoes


Fake Watches


Ringtone Seller

Only in Malaysia can a guy set up a stall with only a table and a laptop then start selling ringtones, wallpaper, videos and other multimedia goodness for handphones. That's the Malaysia Boleh spirit in action!

Henna Tattooist


Interior decor


Local Shaman

Besides the regular fake goods, you also get the odd stall or two trading in wares ranging from henna tattoos, to interior decor lamps, to even local shamans perpetuating the belief that they can cure illnesses and sell viagra like ointments (I HAVE NOT actually tested any of this products btw!) ;-p

So head down to Damansara Uptown the next time you are in the neighbourhood and marvel at the wonders on display!
