While waiting for the Maghrib call to prayer, I usually sit on the first or second floor.
Go home to work, I often stop by there before Maghrib. And, From the results of that walk, I know that there is a magnificent and beautiful place of worship, Asmaul Husna Mosque. Not uncommon, I walked towards the back of the mall. Then, no wonder I often choose to go to the office and Summarecon Mall Serpong on foot. It feels too dear when the sidewalks are neat and the streets are beautiful there when only viewed from a vehicle. The daily activity at that time was working in the office and going to Summarecon Mall Serpong for hunting for dinner or just window shopping. The neat sidewalks make me who likes to walk more routinely do it. The calm and beautiful atmosphere makes me comfortable living in the area developed by Summarecon Agung and Paramount Serpong.
