14th MARCH 2020 ~ One of the main objectives going to Jakarta this time was to find batik shirts for the Angklung Group that I trained in SMK Taman Universiti. One place that we found was Thamrin City Mall, which was actually not that far from the hotel we were staying.
This was a multi-level mall that sold mostly batik shirts and fabric for both men and women but there were other non-batik materials as well.
The biggest challenge would be to choose as there were just too many shops that were offering all kinds of designs and patterns, I was spoiled for choice. You could get items from very cheap to very expensive, depending on the quality of the printing and fabric, as well as how the shirts were tailored.
Mission was successfully accomplished and I walked out with a bundle of batik shirts. Unfortunately, they have not been worn up until today as co-curricular activities were not allowed to be conducted in school since the C-19 pandemic started in March.
There was a food court on the top floor of the mall so we just got our lunch there.

This place was huge. I discovered there was another building attached to the one I went earlier, selling batik too. Definitely the place I would go back for more batik in the future, and I just cannot wait.
