Celebrating National Children's Day, ASTON Priority Simatupang Hotel has a unique way of holding a series of activities entitled "Childhood Memories" to commemorate childhood in the 90s era from 23 to 28 July 2024.
Nostalgic Buffet with "Old School Snacks" from the 90s
For those who experienced childhood or adolescence in the 90s, of course you are familiar with the various types of snacks sold in the area around the school, such as rambut nenek (Indonesian Cotton Candy), chocolate in the shape of umbrellas and coins, stick crackers, milk candy, and so on. The snacks that are labeled "Jadul" or mean old school can be found in the buffet area of the Canary Restaurant at the ASTON Priority Simatupang hotel on Tuesday, Saturday and Sunday, 23, 27 and 28 July 2024.
“Ular Tangga” Competition
According to various sources, the game Ular Tangga (Snakes and Ladders) is one of the oldest games in the world, having existed since the 2nd century AD. Before the gaming industry technology developed as rapidly as it is today, this game was very popular among children in the 90s.
Therefore, to reminisce about that era, the ASTON Priority Simatupang hotel is holding this competition with additional questions about 90s cultural trends on Saturday, July 27 2024 at 8:30 at the Canary restaurant.
Each player has a pawn and can walk according to the number of dice thrown on the available squares. Each time they enter the box, there is a question that must be answered and players are given a maximum of 10 seconds to answer. If it is correct, the player can match the box and if it is incorrect, the player must take one step back.
The player who successfully passes all the obstacles and reaches the Finish box first will win the game and get 1 free stay voucher at the ASTON Priority Simatupang hotel.
Kids Performance
As an appreciation for children, the ASTON Priority Simatupang Hotel provides an art space for children who want to show their talents in public on Tuesday, 23 July 2024 at 12:00 and Sunday, 28 July 2024 at 8:00 am.
Free Chocolate Lollipops and Balloons For Kids
For hotel guests who bring families or children, the ASTON Priority Simatupang Hotel also provides Chocolate Lollipops and balloons which are given to all children staying on Tuesday and Saturday, 23 and 27 July 2024. Apart from that, balloons are also given free to children every weekend during the month of July.
"Recalling the memory of the 90s, at that time there were no sophisticated gadgets for playing and children tended to play traditional games or just gather in a group to enjoy typical children's snacks. Therefore, we don't just give gifts to children, we also invite adult guests to come back to remember their childhood in the 90s at ASTON Priority Simatupang," said Andi Gevika Rizki, General Manager of ASTON Priority Simatupang Hotel.
"Apart from Old School Snacks, the most unique thing about our activity is the Snakes and Ular Tangga competition, because this game actually has a philosophical meaning related to cause and effect. Ular Tangga game first came from India and was used as a medium for learning about the principle of cause and effect. Bad traits are symbolized by the symbol of a snake, while good deeds are symbolized in the form of a ladder" adds Andi Gevika Rizki, General Manager of the ASTON Priority Simatupang Hotel.
