Finally, this famous weekend flea market had come to Malaysia!
Originated from Bangkok, ArtBox had popped up a few times in our neighbour country, Singapore, but never to Malaysia.
Since Artbox always appear as pops up, it is likely that it would attract plenty of people to this one-off event, but i never thought it would be that crowded!
I think the location chosen this time was not very wise, and the traffic was poorly controlled, crowd size was under-estimated, it was pretty hard to walk around, not even mention about chance of photo shooting.
I swear i would not go again if Artbox come to Malaysia again, unless i heard good feedbacks.
All the complaints were well seen online, everyone was not satisfied, poor organization, extremely pricy food, bad traffic control...everything were out of control.
I came of the first night, which falls on Friday, straight coming here after work, we thought we were smart to chose BRT to here, coming here is easy but going back was really annoying.
We waited for almost an hour to get back to the bus just because there were so many people, I guess we spent too much time at Pyramid after wandering around Artbox for less than an hour.
I personally really enjoy flea markets and also buying random art or stationary stuffs at pop up stalls, but i also have to agree with what those keyboard warriors told, ArtBox Malaysia indeed dissapointing, I am quite grateful to choose to come on the first night, although in the end I made effort to come here twice, second time with my highschool mate right on the next night on Saturday.
I still happy to discovered the Gachapon stall, all the vending machines here are straightly imported from Japan! Hooray~
RM15 for one capsule toy indeed ain't cheap, but "once" in an Artbox Malaysia event, it was ok...
Well, it was not once, cz i made another twist on the second night and got a charmender this time...hmmm ya recently i am addicted to pokemon bcz i have started playing the pokemon go game on mobile XD
We had taiwanese meal at Pyramid, thanks to the Artbox event, Pyramid is also crowded everywhere...
then we walked back to the BRT station through the connection bridge from Pyramid, it was also my first time accessing using this bridge.
The view is quite nice =D
You also can see from here, there were so crowded for this event, Malaysian indeed love to line up for events.
Here's also what i had bulleting on my journal regarding Artbox...
Besides Pokemon, I also had bought a Paris acrylic stamp pad and a watch too, so seems like not really saying Artbox is not worthy at all.
