When we originally got our jobs here we were told that the school was located inside Kemang Village. When we looked it {Kemang Village} up online I remember being shocked and amazed at what was all there. Well, come to find out what we saw online was a computerized image of what is going to be. So, all last year Kemang Village consisted of a bookstore, Starbucks, SPH (our school) apartments, and later on in the year a bar/restaurant called FJ's. Well, as of today the mall is officially open! Today was the big grand opening so after school, Erik and I went over to check it out. Only about 70% of the mall is open now, but we are very excited! There is even a movie theater on the top floor! It's going to be very hard to leave Kemang Village now ...

View from the top floor {there are 5 floors total}
One of Indonesia's big department stores. This one is in between a Nordstroms and Macy's. Not quite as expensive as Nordstroms, but very fancy looking.

Outside. They are calling this the "Avenue of the Stars" It is not complete yet, but when it is it will have lots of places to eat. Tonight we enjoyed some Thai food from one of the only places open. It was very good! There is going to be a TGI Friday's in November! We can't wait!! :)
This is a video of us walking from the mall back to our apartment so you can get an idea of how close we are ...
Well, hope you enjoyed this little tour of our area! You're welcome to visit anytime :)
Bye for now ..
