Old Office Building VS New Office Building

Hey there people, I've pre-occupied lately with work & ...facebook!. I can barely spare time to write anything, well...Just a quick update : I left my job in that prominent advertising agency and moved to what they call = the client side, doing brand activation. But that's not the point offcourse. I just realized that people are always comparing, like how many times you compare cell-phones before you finally get the right one, compare clothes, restaurants, plane fare, ex-lovers. Why? I dont know and Im not going to play amateur psychologist to reveal why people make comparison...I want to show the difference between Plaza Bapindo & One Pacific Place (those are buildings, for those of you who havent heard)

Plaza Bapindo

Location : 
Just across senayan sport complex, you'll have the privillege to be first to know if soccer fans are going to block your way home
Entrance : 
Simple, spacious, separated perfectly for cars, motorcycles, people, and monsters (monsters get inside from everywhere)
Exterior Look :
Modern yet ellegant, white marble for flooring and very specific blue-green color for glass window, signs & other accentuation.
Interior / Lobby : 
Spacious with High ceiling, literally empty...
Parking : 
Love it!, simple lay out, wide enough for even the biggest car in the world, perfect for disoriented people who forgets where they parked all the time
Food Court : 
Much better than...say, mall ambasador's food court, it's clean & provides TVs (very important!), pricey though!
Smoking Area : 
Secluded in the basement, quite comfy though, but people just smoke in the emergency stairs...
Security Guard's hospitality level :
 7-8
Access to / from location : 
only from jalan sudirman, 10 minutes to Senopati Area
Free Shuttle Bus :
to FX and senayan city (but dont expect the senayan city shuttle)
Fascilities :
1. Ballroom, the best sholat jum'at venue ever!!!
2. Indomart, tukang pulsa, Barber Shop, Money Changer, Guardian, some 5 star restaurants
2. Best Bazaar ever!, regularly, Nike, MAP group & office wear clothing would have their annual sale here. usually before holiday, we can get jack nicklaus shirt and polo from as little as IDR 50.000

Pacific Place

Location : just at the heart of SCBD area, in a mega-block called One Pacific Place
Entrance : Mesti muter dulu kalo masuk dari Sudirman, hati2 salah masuk karena ada 2 entrance yang nyaris tiada bedanya untuk masuk ke Mall
Exterior Look : Contemporary-modern, grayish, using a lot of glass and dark flooring
Interior / Lobby : Small but cozy, with couches, and we have Ferrari showcased here!
Parking : Damn, You need atleast 3 months adaptation! i rather took the busway!
Food Court : 2 foodcourt in parking area 1 & 2, offcourse I dont count what's on Pacific Place mall yah...
Smoking Area : Outside the lobby, clean and outdoor...overlooking polda metro jaya (rasanya amaaan bgt hahaha)
Security Guard's hospitality level : 9, because they helped me pass trough the entrance when my access card wasnt ready
Access to / from location : 7 on them to sudirman, senopati, gatsu, tulodong etc. also access to Ritz Carlton, and pacific place mall, using only 1 elevator
Fascilities :
1. Free view of Ritz Carlton swimming pool & park
2. You can have bengawan solo coffee or sour sally and beard papa anytime you want!
3. Many elevators but took me more than 20 minutes to take money from atm BCA, and buy cigarette...:-(
4. Just visit pacificplace.com (hehehe)
