I saw lots of art around the country.

When I went to the falls by the roadside were many carvers of wood. They make great animals and lifelike shapes including masks and stuff.

Look at these big elephants and things. These sculptures stand higher than me!. There was a big stone tortoise one guy had made which I wanted but it weighed WAY too much lol. I should have taken a picture (sorry)... I recommend buying from these guys becausenot only is it cheaper and youcanhaggle but you know that you are buying from the carver/sculpter himself in most cases. You can even sit and watch the guy make you something from scratch if you want. The shops in town sell similar stuff but at a far far higher price.

When bargaining on the roadside though be aware you bargaining with relatively poor people so don't takeliberties.
