Have you ever heard of a place called Pasar Malam? In general, the place was made temporarily, located on empty land, and close to the highway. Usually active at night - obviously the name is also the night market - and visited by children. Maybe some who don't live in the capital city have come to that place.
I do not live in the capital city, my house is in housing indeed, but not elite housing where every corner is well-constructed and there may not be temporary buildings for entertaining, I am also not a child who does not play outside the house with children around the house. But I have never been there.
The thing that I want to ride the most is a merry-go-round and a large biyanglala.
Every time I pass the night market, I feel like I want to get down from public transportation and play there, it's enough to drive me crazy. Just like when I think of zoos, you know, it's like a place where animals live but man-made, with fences and boards that explain the details of each animal.
Believe it or not, I've never been there either. I really and truly wanted to see the giraffe firsthand.
When I was in kindergarten I went to an orchard, when I was in elementary school I went to an amusement park, when I was in middle school I went to Bandung, and when I was in middle school I went to Jogja and Kepulauan Seribu. But there is no zoo or night market.
Honestly, I often imagine going there with someone, believe it or not, repeatedly I made stories on Instagram to give him a sign to take me there. But maybe he does not know. It's been 4 years since the last time I met him face to face.
