Really feels homely atmosphere when entering the footsteps Passer Baroe gate area, not far from the shopping center, glistening towering Monas. Passer Baroe located in the heart of the city, the New Market Village, District Sawah Besar, Central Jakarta. Dusk light that bounced off the yellow glass shops, slowly fading in the color purple. The bustle of the traders and shoppers continue, pulsing lifeblood tub. The fruit sellers hawking merchandise with friendly carts, apple, orange, longan, bark according to the date of the season. "Come, let's ... fresh fruits". Street vendors offer a variety of crafts, clothes, handbags, shoes, and supplies everyday. Along the way visitors move with a relaxing evening enjoying the moment will soon turn dark. While the Ciliwung River still flowed in silence like that has happened hundreds of years ago.
On the two sides of the road Jalan Pasar Baru is a row of clothing shops, textile shops, tailor shop, sporting goods store, shoes, sunglasses, and gold shops. Eye view of what is really spoiled, 'what is needed and could quickly be obtained?' I visited a store filled with various kinds of textile fabrics of different colors, the waiters are friendly welcomed. "How much fabric for a paris lace kebaya? 'I asked.
"Five hundred thousand dollars," replied the waitress.
"How much for sewing? 'I asked.
"Sorry, we can not sew kebaya, but I can drop off in front of the shop there", I also had to follow the waiter took it to the designated textile.
"Good afternoon, could you please sew kebaya?"
"Can".
"How much sewing?"
"One and a half million with the buster," the clerk replied.
"It could be finished in one week?"
"Let me call handyman measuring", the clerk flashed into the room before finally returning with an expert in measuring clothing. On the wall a picture of a cashier tertampang Indian man in traditional dress, apparently he is the owner of the store.
Kebaya was completed in a week with very subtle buster that will be difficult to be made by a regular tailor. Besides kebaya, textile shops can also sew jazz suits, safari, office uniforms, and various models of clothes that customers require. The price of each dress to taste a variety of buyers with a variety of alternatives that exist. Textile stores with presence in it tailor facilitate buyers in getting the required variety of fashions. While home eating cheap fast food and convenience in shopping centers complement this, so that visitors can berisantai while enjoying a meal option. Seller salad, cotton candy, traditional foods, and snacks less exciting in offering merchandise, then be complete activity in the shopping center.
The flurry continued to remain on the Road Between, at the south end of the Market Baroe. To the right of one-way streets, there are hotels, restaurants, travel agencies, Indomart and old buildings that leave an impression. Freely along the pavement passing under a shady tree-Pohan and banyan roots hanging. Guests staying at the hotel can freely Road Between go shopping on foot to get all the necessary stuff.
Morning, relatively quiet atmosphere Baroe Market, just looked newspaper hawkers, vendors of fresh fruits, and a flurry of activity in the rest of the night. While the rising sun, life on this market slowly rose, the doors began to open stores, street vendors wares along the way. Atmosphere is getting increasingly crowded afternoon, visitors grew dense, more dense in the afternoon. Activity in this market reached its peak at night, blinding fluorescent mercury lamps, the roar of the vehicle, the hustle and bustle of the transaction, also laughing joke of all visitors, the streets being so crowded, so visitors have to tread carefully. Reflexology provides services for visitors fatigue, ATMs of various banks stood at almost every corner, visitors do not have to worry about running out of cash. Passer Baroe than a shopping center, but a place of exciting tourist destination.
This kind of atmosphere started since 193 years ago, precisely in 1820 when Batavia Government building Passer Baroe as economic sites. Dutch people who settled in Rijswijk - now Jl. Veterans - start shopping routines in place. The shops in Passer Baroe built with Chinese and European architectural styles. In this market are the people India - Indonesia hawking fabrics, sports equipment, and footwear to date. Kimia Farma Pharmacy, Lee Ie Seng shop, home furnishings store Bed, store hours Tjung-Tjung, and optician Seis - Tjun Lie - survive from earlier times to the present. Similarly Isardas tailor suits, Hariom, and Gehimal, tailors still exist to this day.
The market atmosphere Baroe be more specific on the Jakarta Anniversary celebrations which falls in June. This month Passer Baroe Festival held by exhibiting a variety of typical local products such as the culinary capital of the Betawi culture, and Chinese culture. In the midst of the capital city with a traffic jam every day to spend time shopping Passer Baroe a special moment when human beings take the further step advancement era with a variety of luxury mall as a shopping center. There is an ancient and old to life in Passer Baroe, when I stepped foot into this place, as if visitors were also reveals the history of a life that began to be recorded since 193 years ago.
