Is it a market or is it a mall ???

I found this sign during my shopping time at Pasar Atom. Pasar Atom was built in 1972. The word "pasar" shows that this place should be a market. However, the whole atmosphere of this place is very much different with the atmosphere of any other traditional market in Surabaya.





First of all this place is not dirty like just like the other market, and hmmm, you can feel the cool air from the air con which hardly found in any other market. And lastly, there are some expensive boutiques and barbershops inside which are impossible to be found in ordinary market.


Considering the fact that people are look at this market more like a mall, the owner then built a new mall right next to the old market. And to show that this new mall is connected with the old famous Pasar Atom, then he named this mall "Pasar Atom Mall", a name that sounds pretty ambiguous.
