Traditional markets v Supermarkets

Supermarket VS Traditional market

Supermarket is very different with Traditional market although two of them sell daily products. Which one should we choose? Who is the winner?

Supermarket is clean but Traditional market is dirty, this is because traditional market usually outdoor and supermarket indoor. So we don’t need to worry for dirty floor in supermarket. Because supermarket is indoor so it use air conditioner and traditional market don’t.

Usually, supermarket own by a company while traditional market own by a community of seller. In supermarket, we can pay to the cashier using cash or credit cards, but in traditional market we only use cash and pay direct to the seller.

The price in supermarket is fixed but we can bargain with the seller in traditional market. We can purchase fresh food from traditional market because they usually sell products from their own farm. For example fruits, they usually sell fruits from their own yard, or from other provider that crop. But in supermarket, they sell freezing food.

However, supermarket is more expensive from traditional market. Supermarket products have more interesting packaging and various products. Traditional market product is limited. Supermarkets open from morning until night and Traditional market only open until afternoon.

So far, Supermarket stills the winner with score 6-3. But still, you can choose either Traditional market or Supermarket.

This is Clara's view. What do you think? Are traditional markets better than supermarkets? Let us know what you think...

Pluit Mall

Pluit Junction is a mall. It's small, but there are many restaurant.

The mall is located in pluit, near Nano medical center.

I like to go to this mall, because inside this mall, there is Amazone. Amazone is a place to play for kids. I like to play the dancing game. It is so fun! I always play with my friends.

The other reason why I like to go to this mall it is because inside the mall, there is a big theater. The theater is so clean. So, I always feel comfortable when I watch movies there. Not like in the other place.

Usually, the theater inside mall are dirty and smelly. The most popular restaurant in Pluit Junction is Cuisine Cuisine. The favorite food is Duck. If we eat untill Rp.200.000, so we can buy the duck only for Rp.1.000!!

This is from Josephine. Look out for more from her as she helps you explore Pluit Mall!

Another poem from Winona

A LETTER FROM A DAUGHTER TO HER MOM

Mom..You're my light in the darkness
You're my well in my thirst
You have the shoulder I could cry on
You're my tree to lean on
You're my words in my song
You're the colors on my rainbow Mom...
You give me your life
You teach me to prepare my future
You give me supports and advices on my failure Mom..
You love me whatever I'm look like
You don't care if I am ugly
You don't care if I am stupid Mom...
I know I never make you happy
I know I always make you angry
But deep inside my heart,I love you
