Well, I’m going to talk about a place that I enjoy going to in my hometown. So, my hometown is located in Surabaya, which is the biggest city in Ishaava, Indonesia. Moreover, the place that I enjoy going is to a big mall where I can find many stuff to buy for my school things and many other preparation. I enjoy going to this shopping malls because in my hometown, which is Surabaya, there is not many natural places. And if there is a natural place, I think it’s not really good if I compare to another city in Indonesia. One of the examples from the shopping malls is Pakuan Mall, which is the biggest mall in Surabaya as well as in Indonesia. It is located in the western part of the Surabaya city. Moreover, I prefer to spend time at the place elsewhere than in my hometown. Because in my hometown, there is not many public places that I can visit. However, if I go somewhere else, I can know more things that I don’t know in my hometown. For instance, it’s the natural places like mountains and beach. I often go to the natural places, which is located in Balust city in Ishaava, Indonesia. And I explore some public places like Jatimbark too and many other, which I can ride in the theme park. I enjoy going to this place because I can know the fresh air, I can see the beautiful panoramic view than in my hometown. And if in my hometown, I enjoy going to Pakuan Mall because I can find many stuff for my school preparation.
