Lazy Weekend…
This weekend was a lazy weekend, not much happened...On Saturday, we went to Maggua Dua to purchases some name brand: purses, watches, luggage, DVDs and whatever else we could find. I enjoy shopping when there is negotiating involved, I guess I get that from my Mom, she was the Queen of negotiating. It’s a game to me, in China I won a lot, or I bought a lot anyway, but here in Indonesia, I’m losing. They are pretty proud of their nice fake purses. The boys however bought way more then us girls (watches and luggage)…however there is not really any negotiating with them. Since I’m not a brand name girl, I have a hard time seeing the saving on a Prada purse for $60.00 or a Coach purse for $40.00 when I buy Wal-mart for $20.00.
That night I enjoyed a 75min massage for $15.00US or 135,000Ind. The massages here start by washing your feet in warm water with a little bit of destressing oil, then they start at your feet and work their way to your head without oil and then start all over with oil. After your 75 mins is up you receive a nice cup of tea. However, I haven’t figured out how such a small girl with small hands can hurt you…but she can…believe me…
Sunday was a day of relaxation (and recovering from the 75min massage from the night before).
Jakarta Malls…
The malls here are huge and expensive, it’s just hard to believe that when you are driving to the mall how much rubbish you see on the streets…but once you get inside it’s like a whole new world. Everything is very clean and shiny…the merchandise can be very expenses…there are Coach, Mark & Spenser’s, Polo, Fossil Watches, Giordano, plus many others shops to choose from…The Pondok Indah Mall 2 is 4 floors high, however the Grand Indonesia is at least 7 floors high, they are huge.
