I'm at a children's book session.
It's very crowded.
People are asking their children to buy books here.
Even though the children's books are like this.
The price is usually much more expensive than a novel.
But they let their children to buy the books.
Because they know that it's important.
So, they don't just give their children the phone.
But, they ask their children to go to the bookstore.
My goal when I become an adult.
I want to ask my children to go to the bookstore.
And I will say,
It's up to you.
Without showing the price.
It's up to you how much it is.
That's my goal.

It was used in Alien.
The models are like this.
It's apocalyptic.
And that's my adventure in Kinokuniya Bookshop.
I don't buy anything.
Because I'm a book lover.
So when I see a book for $20, $30, $40.
It's funny.
I like to compare it.
In a used book shop, the price can be $7.
It's better to buy it there.
That's it.
The price of the book is expensive.
It's relative.
If you have a lot of money, please spend it here.
Buy a book in Kinokuniya.
Especially books that are not found in Indonesia.
For me, the collection of this book shop is amazing.
It's complete.
But when I typed it,
it's out of stock in the computer.
Out of stock.
There's no in-to-thin-air.
So maybe the book is more like a new update.
It's up to you.
If you go to Singapore, Kinokuniya Bookshop.
Prepare a minimum of $100.
Okay. Let's go.
