Just Looked Around: Second-handed Books

Friday 1 March 2013

After got full tummy, we continued our walk to the back of Merdeka Walk into the second-handed books sales center in Medan passed the Center Piece. Acrossed the street, we could see the monuments of Bank SUMUT and old buildings of PT Pos Indonesia. Don’t worry about the heat because there are a lot of large trees that shade the side of the road. Arriving the sale of books, known as Lapangan Merdeka, we met a couple of young men and women who acted like SPG because they offered us a book stalls to look around.

There, we could find so many second-handed books but with a very good condition. Even if you are lucky, we can get new books with lower prices. Visitors there were dominated by students starting from elementary school to college students because most of the books sold are textbooks. But we still found many novels, magazines, comics from a variety of themes. Books on religion, politics, family, health, stories for children, dictionaries, and much more that we can find there.
But it is still difficult to find books with themes that are not often read by a lot of people, especially in foreign languages​​. My friend ever looked for a book for her thesis reference, the seller instead asking what kind of book it was LOL.
'Always be with you'
Can you find a book entitled 'Memikat Hati Suami'? (captivate husband's heart)
I told Auliya to buy it and she replied, 'whose husband? other woman's?'
LOL
Finished looking around, we went back to the station to go home. Actually, to get Medan from Perbaungan was faster, practical and cheaper if riding a motorbike or public transport.
But we just enjoyed our Medan short trip.
