Things to do in Jakarta, Java: The Best Shopping
Chaotic, crowded, and cosmopolitan, Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, is a city of contrasts. Home to millions of people from around the world, the city is a mixture of languages and cultures, poverty and wealth. The city boasts some of the best nightlife in Asia and some of the worst traffic. Every holiday, the locals escape the pollution and the crowds to enjoy relaxing diversions like Ancol Dreamland, an amusement area featuring water parks, beaches, golf courses, and a SeaWorld.

A new big mall in Bekasi that just opened early of this year (2018) (I think). This mall sell variety of items and brands from Japan which was never available in other malls in Bekasi so far. The mall itself is big and located in a newly developed (rather premium) housing area, but the access to this mall still feel limited due to development of infrastructures at the main roads towards this place. That probably also one among many the reason why this mall is not that crowded, even in weekends (aside the fact it's new and not many people might aware of its existence). Now, aside from Japanese brands, this mall also have many shops from standard famous fashion, accessories, and food brands in Jakarta and Bekasi. There is also CGV movie theater which is also cozy and quite good. Aside from that, the BIG ferris wheel outside the mall and its surrounding area also good for selfies and strolling after shopping. Now, I do feel this mall lack one important store: the book store, preferably the Japanese franchise one, particularly Kinokunniya. IF that book store opened it branch here, this would be a perfect mall (at least in my opinion).

But I found more than what I expect. You can find all sorts of late 19th and early 20th century items, from framed mirror, gramophone, LP, laser discs, ceramics plates, old coins and stamps, furnitures, even luggages. But visitor that plan to buy things, better be equipped with the skill to haggle and bargain. It certainly fun for me.
