Big Bad Wolf Opens 24 Hours, Visitors Prefer Coming at Midnight

10 March 2020 12:02 WIB

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Big Bad Wolf bazaar was held again on March 06 until March 16, 2020, in BSD, South Tangerang. Like the previous year, book lovers can buy all kinds of books for 24 hours.

With the opening of this nonstop bazaar, not a few people choose to buy books at midnight and even into the morning. One of them is Alrosa Fahri, he chose to shop outside normal hours because of several reasons. One of them is the opportunity to see books more freely.

"There are lots of books sold there, of course, it takes hours to see and examine one by one," he said when contacted by Tempo.co on Monday, March 9, 2020.

He also claimed that the ideal hours would usually be filled with many visitors.

"The line is incredible, it's like watching a concert, and the queue for the payment is really long, it's not comfortable," he stressed.

Like Alrosa, Gemma Purbaya also chose to go there at midnight because choosing books needed a sense of calmness, she claimed.

"There are sample books. If it is on peak hours, surely it will feel rushed [in choosing books] because many people want to read also," she said.

Adding the reason, she said she was indeed insomniac, so she took the time to buy books when she could not sleep.

"Instead of doing nothing at home, hunting books is way better," she said.

Alrosa chose science fiction books such as the Star Wars Ultimate Guide, several coloring books and children's books for cousins and nieces. While Gemma prefers history books, humor novels and human anatomy.
