Tonight, Chris, Erik, Amanda and I did a little exploring around Kemang Village (the developing area that our apartment and school is in). We started off at Starbucks for buy 2 get 2 Frapps (Ramadhan special!!) and went from there. When Kemang Village is finished, there will be seven apartment buildings (skyscrapers), a mall, and country club pools spanning between them (about 10 floors above ground level).
Digital projection of the finished product:
Actual shot, as of 2011. It looks more developed now, but that's the most recent aerial shot that I could find online. I wish we could digitally clear up the smog like the previous picture. . .
For the first time, we actually did some exploring around the unfinished parts, and found ourselves inside the mall (the short building, with the curved front in the middle of the picture above). The grand opening is supposed to be Sept. 26th, so it will be interesting to see what all is actually finished.
sorry I caught you blinking, Amanda!
When it's done entirely, it will be quite the place! We will be spoiled for sure with a mall, movie theater, and so many great restaurants just around the corner from our apartment!
Kemang. . . you're not so bad.
Very fancy! How cool!
ReplyDeleteHi Katie, I've been living in a house in Kemang for a long time. I'm considering moving to Kemang Village because my kids are growing and I feel it would be easier for them to spend time with other kids after school if we are in a compound. I work and it's a pain for me to arrange playdates... Are there enough open spaces for kids to play outside, ride their bikes, etc?
ReplyDeleteWithin the actual complex of Kemang Village itself, there isn't much room for kids to play outside or ride bikes. But, other teachers from our school live at Kemang Club Villas (about a 15 min walk away from Kemang Village, off of Kemang Raya), and it's a great area for kids to be outside and play! Hope that helps you!
