Patung Suro & Boyo, Tugu Pahlawan, House of Sampoerna
have you ever heard about the last one? well, House of Sampoerna is a 'house' that functioning as a production plant for Indonesia's most prestigious cigarette, Dji Sam Soe. the original central auditorium is now a museum and the east side has been transformed into a unique structure containing a cafe, a merchandise kiosk and an art gallery. oh gosh, from the second floor you can see cigarette making process by a lot of labors. yes, you can join the 2.900 women in this plant, hand-rolling cigarettes using traditional equipment! and the art gallery, don't miss it guys. it's a really worth place to visit. more about House of Sampoerna.
the next destination is Suramadu bridge. before we headed to there, we picked Nisa up -- a friend from elementary school of mine and Ngge's-- to joined us. wow, it's been soo a long time no see her. around 10 years i guess.
a pic taken by Zikir
this is a bridge constructed between Surabaya on the island of Java and the town of Bangkalan on the island of Madura in Indonesia. there's a funny story behind our visit to Suramadu. we got the traffic punishment from police --or Dishub?-- because our car took the wrong way --fyi, we took that way because we intend to stop by then take some photos there. we had to pay Rp. 10.000 for the fine *oh crap. because of this incident, we just turn around, and walked away. thanks to the police for ruined our mood! >:(
then we headed to Zikir's home --her Granny's actually-- to Pempek --i brought it from Palembang--party! after all, as the persons who grew up in Palembang we still can't resist this food :D
the last destination is G-Walk. so many kind of food there. from Asian - Europe. and we ended up with chinese food.
do visit Surabaya!
