WHEN CRAZY BACKPACKERS STRUCK SURABAYA

 

We can say that Surabaya is the heart of east Java. It is the capital of East Java province, but Surabaya is more than that. So, no need to wonder why this city is crowded by tourists. By train, it took about 4 hours from Yogyakarta. We left for Surabaya in the morning and it's noon by the time we arrived there, via Gubeng railway station. Gubeng is one of the entry to Surabaya. n Gubeng railway station, there's a map that you will know easily where your destination is. Or you can get here via Juanda International Airport in South Surabaya.

 

This city has so many tourist destination. Beach, Museum, Mall, Mosque, etc. Need a cheap shelter? We found some backpackers hotel with reasonable rate. Gubeng Hotel charges you IDR 90,000 while Sparkling Backpacker Hotel charges you IDR 115,000. The cheapest rate in City Hub hotel IDR 250,000. They are surely recommended. If you're crazy enough, try to sleep in some public areas like a station, mosque, or (maybe) the sidewalk.

Just so you know, Surabaya is friendly to all backpackers. We simply loved the sidewalk. Unlike other cities in Indonesia, Surabaya's sidewalk is street vendor-free. You can wander around all day long then. This city also has numerous public transportation and taxi is the best. There's no reason to postpone your plan to go to Surabaya. Why don't you just pack now and "strike" Surabaya!

EXPLORING SOLO CULINARY CENTER: CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!

What an amazing experience! Tasting some unforgettable Solo foods, Enjoying the beauty of the city nightview, And......All I can say is "Awesome". It was such a good opportunity to join National Management Student Summit in Solo last September. There were so many things I got from it, especially the food.

Let's talk about WEDANGAN CANGKIR BLIRIK first. It's a nice place. The most important thing is, it's accesible. Your bus can surely enter the way to the WEDANGAN. WEDANGAN is a typical name of a place to eat in Solo. But WEDANGAN CANGKIR BLIRIK is different. Gazebo style combined with old-fashioned interior,  making this WEDANGAN as the best WEDANGAN in entire Solo.

Well, don't forget to try Solo Sausage! It's yellow with ground chicken inside but tastes good. It costs only Rp 3.000,-. Next, the tea! WEDANGAN CANGKIR BLIRIK has some kinds of tea. Last, I recommend you to try baked rice. I believe you can't hold your curiosity. Looking forward to coming here soon? Go to Banyuanyar Selatan Street, no. 22B, Banyuanyar, Solo.

I have another good place for you to eat, GALABO!

It's the name of the food center located neat Beteng Trade Center (Solo shopping center). And it's not too far for you to reach city square, Solo Great Mosque, or Keraton Solo. GALABO stands for Gladag Langen Bogen (I really don't know what it means). This site open in afternoon to midnight. I myself bought some foods here. They have 'Nasi Rawon', Meatball, Baked Rice, etc. Many tourist coming here to enjoy the air.

Just join us to explore more culinary center in more cities.

Admit it! Indonesia is rich......of food.
