Times Bookstore in Karawaci


Last week we went to that famous Times Bookstore that is located inside the Universitas Pelita Harapan complex, in Karawaci Tangerang. This bookstore is advertised to be very big and cozy with its comprehensive collection. However, since I love reading and go to bookstores a lot, I can say that this bookstore is not as grand as it is promised. Well, if you are familiar with Kinokuniya at Plasa Senayan, you'd find this bookstore rather ... let's say it doesn't have everything for everyone. For one major topic, they only provide the maximum of two or three bookshelves, while at Kinokuniya we can find three bookshelves just for one favorite sub topic.

Anyway, the bookstore is not to our satisfactory. As for the surrounding, since the UPH itself is quite impressive, not to mention the Benton place with its row of cafes, we can say that it is different and worth our long journey.

Relaxing at Grand Hyatt





It is just our annual family program. After the hectic days of Lebaran, we usually go and stay at some nice hotels. This year, we stayed at Grand Hyatt for free by using our Citibank credit card's point rewards. There was nothing to exciting about the hotel, since we've already stayed here several times. So, we just relaxed and took a long nap after checking in and having our lunch.

The more exciting experience this year was that now there is Grand Indonesia just across the hotel. Grand Indonesia has a new playground called Fun World. In the afternoon we went to that Fun World, and at least the girls had fun.
