A Different Start (3): Another Books (and stores)!

I am getting addicted with Brady's Chemistry, but at Pasar Senen I only bought the first volume out of two... so I and my father had another hunt, this time in Palasari, Bandung. This time, my sisters accompanied us.

Before we went to Palasari, we went to ITB (I think I've written that my father is an ITB lecturer in my biography). We'd just got ready to go when it started to rain, so we waited by visiting ITB's very own library.

The library is reaaaallyyyy big and full of books. I love it so much! It has four floors, if I'm not mistaken, but we didn't go to the 4th floor because the rain had over. We really enjoy being there, my father took me to see the TPB books. I don't know what TPB stands for, but at the first semester, every ITB student has to join it. The materials are similar to the ones studied in high school, but they are slightly deepened. The books used are so many; each of lesson has three of four reference books. For example, in Physics, ITB uses Giancoli, Halliday... and another one, but unfortunately I forgot who's the writer :) most of the books are the translated ones, but some are the originals, the English version. I like the original ones so much; the language used is easier to be understood, each book isn't divided into some parts and the pages are made from the same kind of paper used in magazines. When I read it, I felt like I was reading something fun.

The books in the library vary in ages. I and my youngest sister Kiki competed to hunt for the oldest book in the library. My father got worried because of it, hahaha. One time, we were inspecting an old book when a really big sneeze was heard. I and Kiki was really shocked that my other sister, Farah, laughed so much. She said, "So both of you thought that was book ghost's sneeze?" and the three of us laughed a lot, without caring that we were in library (the laugh wasn't too noisy, of course).

It was fun, really. We then went to Palasari after praying first in LAPI ITB, about two minutes from the campus.

Palasari is waaay more organized than Pasar Senen, I and my sisters felt really comfortable in there. We bought some comics. After visiting ITB's library, I realized that I wanted the Brady's English version more so we didn't search for the second volume, instead, we searched for the English one. The book is expensive, though, so we didn't buy it.

My holiday is really full of books, isn't it? :))
