Hiii...I'm Surabayan. Welcome to my city. 😃 I want to explain a little bit of philosophy that I know about the design of the Tugu Pahlawan (Heroes Monument). Actually this is the shape of a nail standing upside down. When the nail stands by showing its pointy side at the top, the more it is pressed the more it stabs. It means "the more people are attacked, the more they fight". This is a symbol The Battle of Surabaya, Surabayan (people & Indonesian Military) against allied troops. Which is the world's biggest war after the end of WW2. If there are also Surabaya citizen reading this, CMIIW. 😄

[@NataliesPassport]

That’s so cool! It definitely makes more sense about why it’s an upside down nail ❤️

[@yogasetiaone]

Mas, apa betul dibawah tugu itu ada kuburan massal? Saya hanya mendoakan para pahlawan

[@CasCisCus321]

You guys should try to eat Rawon (black beef soup) and Rujak Cingur (spicy salad with cow's nose), both are also iconic Surabaya delicacies as well. Thanks for visiting my hometown!

[@NataliesPassport]

There’s so much food to try there! ❤️

[@Kernd-cp7wh]

Wow..thank you for visiting my city. It's a shame that the Sampoerna museum is currently closed. There is a lot of history related to the Chinese community in Surabaya in the past. Especially cigarette businessmen. The special food in this city besides lontong balap is rujak cingur (meaning salad with shrimp sauce and cow lips), rawon (beef black soup), fried duck, kikil sapi (cow leg soup), coconut chicken/beef satay, tahu campur (its mean tofu mixed soup with shrimp sauce, vegetable and beef and etc.. anyway enjoy your trip..Stay healthy and happy guys..

[@AlexS-oj8qf]

History about Surabaya Kota Tua: A lot of it burned down during the war and the owner rebuilt it in newer style of the 40’s and 60’s, since this area is still very active business area unlike Kota Tua Jakarta, so you wouldn’t find Museums or Cafes but Shops and Warehouses. Only during certain days of festival you can enjoy the touristic atmosphere of the area, but otherwise there is nothing. Surabayan “Kota Tua” is in Jalan Tunjungan, where you can find the Touristic stuff, most notably Hotel Majapahit and the new Museum Siola.

[@NataliesPassport]

Thanks for all the great info! I wish we would’ve known about Jalan Tunjungan when we were in Surabaya! 😱

[@AlexS-oj8qf]

@@NataliesPassport Well, there is reason to go back then 😄 I would suggest: 1. Start at Siola Museum 2. Walk to Hotel Majapahit 3. Get the Majapahit High Tea package where they give you FREE tour of the Historic Hotel 4. Walk to Governor’s Mansion, in the afternoon there’s usually activities there. 5. Walk to Alun-Alun Surabaya, there’s Museum underneath the colonial building. Also sometimes there’s activities. 6. Eat at Zangrandi Ice Cream across Alun-Alun Surabaya, while at it book Evening Boat cruise just behind Alun-Alun through the City Website (I think it’s free) 7. Get to the Dock and enjoy boat ride along Kalimas 8. After the boat then walk to City Hall and end your trip there 😄 Maybe go to Grand City or Delta Plaza for dinner afterwards (which is walkable). Also the highlight of your Surabaya Visit should be the Culinary Experience. It lacks amusement sites but the food is rich and varies. Bebek Sinjay, Rawon Setan, Soto Pak Sadi, Bu Rudi, and Soto Ambengan is among the top Food Place to visit. Hopefully you enjoy your brief Visit. 😊

Surabaya is the second largest city after the capital, Jakarta. Besides tourist destinations in Surabaya, you can visit Malang. There are many interesting places, one of which is the Gunung Kawi ritual tourist attraction, a very cold place🥶

Glad Natalie and Carles look so enthusiastic in Surabaya. The city looks greener now. Yang saya tahu, Kota Tua means "Old Town" di Surabaya bangunannya dipengaruhi oleh Javanese Chinese Merchant termasuk Mesjid di Surabaya. Bagus sekali video ini, Carles dan Natalie memberi contoh "the beauty of doing nothing" dengan unplanned walking. Carles tampak bisa bahasa Mandarin? Sayang sekali tidak bisa lihat wanita-wanita pekerja di House of Sampoerna melinting rokok. Kel Sampoerna was used to be the richest person in Indonesia because beliau membangun bisnis rokok terbesar di dunia setelah perusahaan USA. Ingin melihat video kalian tentang Surabaya - ingin tahu lebih banyak lagi tentang Jawa Timur dari video kalian. Terima kasih Semoga bisa ke Bromo dan mistical Gunung Kawi. Welcome to Surabayo...

[@NataliesPassport]

Thank you! ❤️ we had a great time walking around Surabaya, although we really wanted to go to House if Sampoerna! And yes, Carles knows a little Mandarin 🥰

14:07 this is actually really interesting for me as Indonesian,.the name Kembang Jepun, could be translated as "Flower of Japan". The flower here could also euphism for women, so this place in past actually a red district with a lot of Geisha,.which is interesting because they are located in area where Chinese actually quite dominant,.🤔

[@NataliesPassport]

😱 really?! We had no idea!

[@PekebunMager]

Sooooo.... Its like japanese geisha and chinese mix in red district area??? Im so confuse as an indonesian myself

[@ArunaInsight]

@@PekebunMager that's why i found this interesting,.if we look back at our history books, there are several Indonesian historian that found that there are a lot of Geisha in this area back in the day because this place used to be huge economic hub. The reason why there are no more geisha is because Japanese government start found this phenomenon as degrading..

[@ArunaInsight]

@@PekebunMager but well, their costumers mostly white and chinese though.. 😅

[@PekebunMager]

@@ArunaInsight okay just adding the extra point for confusion, so the japanese government pulled all of their geisha since they dont wanted to compete with the chinese ones...?? It is fascinating actually

Surabaya, apart from being the second largest city in Indonesia. It is also the Indonesian Naval Base for East Indonesia. You saw the old Russian Submarine cos in the late 50'sand early 60's, Indonesia has been in close cooperation with the USSR at the time under Nikita Kruschev time, but in the 70's all war planes are being replaced with Western made.

What I like about your channel is that you always show positivity spirit and getting it easy vibes while exploring Indonesia. I know that sometimes it’s infuriating or stressful especially when you traveling around with public transport as you were. I knew it because, even as a local, I also get stressful too when I did that! 😅 non-fixed schedule, non-fixed price, subpar facility, etc, etc. , but somehow, you just get managed to get along well with it. I see that we’re trying to be better on these regards. Maybe it’s not that fast, but I knew that we will reached a better public transport development somehow in the future. Buying a thousand bus/train is easy, but to develop a system and people who understand that it needs to be maintained, fixed, and managed, is hard. Doing it too fast, and there is a group of people that could protesting with whatever reason it is (Praise to God that we are living in democratic country anyway, it’s also their right to voice their concern). Well, enjoy our country and stay safe 😊

Hi Natalie Charles. Every city in Indonesia has an "OLD KOTA" which is a designation for areas that still have ancient buildings. Colonial heritage buildings that are still being cared for by the community Around. For example Semarang, Jakarta, Jogja, Surabaya, etc. they still have classic colonial buildings. Which in the past was used as a trading center, office of officials, etc

Kota Tua= Old Town (The city built by the Dutch) Pecinan Cina=China Town (The environment is dominated by Chinese)

[@assalamualaikum3824]

Surabaya in the past was the only one that was dubbed the city of heroes in Indonesia, because all of its people took the initiative to openly declare war on the colonialists, namely the Netherlands and England. And because of the strategic location of Surabaya with the port, it is the entry point for trade in eastern Indonesia. Modern-day Surabaya was led by Tri Risma Harini, who was once the best mayor in the world because she was able to maintain a traditional village in an urban environment, and made innovations in bureaucracy and administration, as well as in the environment, so that Surabaya became increasingly popular. many international awards won one of them being the most popular city in the world. What is clear is that the history of the people of Surabaya against the invaders has made Indonesia recognized by the world and Surabaya has become a city of achievements. that is what makes Surabaya the second largest in Indonesia. Because Surabaya's track record and performance are more valuable than just the nation's capital in general. ♥️😊

The most important thing that is often put forward to Indonesia that you may often see is diversity, ethnicity, language, culture and religion where you usually coexist and respect each other, hopefully it can be a separate experience for you while in the country with the largest Muslim population in this world.

14:39 Lontong balap. One of the ingredients is the trassie, or fermented shrimp paste, and petis, the fermented fish sauce. Somehow those ingredients may incite an allergic reaction, or in some cases: diarrhoea.

😱 we didn’t know there was anything fermented in it! We both actually really liked it! 😍

13:26 Well, the Old City of Surabaya is actually bigger than that of Chinatown. There are the Arab Quarter (Ampel area), the Chinese Quarter (the one that you were walking on, and the Dutch Quarter that is spanning from Tunjungan Street to Gemblongan and Bubutan. Most part of the Old City has been occupied by Chinese businesses and now becoming stores, warehouses and factories.

Surabaya is known as the city of 'Heroes'. Because here there was a great battle between Indonesian fighters and allied troops (Dutch and British) who wanted to re-colonize Indonesia after our independence from Japan. At the beginning of independence, Russia really helped Indonesia's war equipment (ships, submarines and fighter planes) to defend our independence.

Oh wow we didn’t know Russia helped Indonesia a lot 😱❤️

Welcome to surabaya! Fun fact, in the national monument park, the place is also a mass grave for Surabaya residents who died in the war, we remember it as Heroes' Day which falls on November 10, that's why Surabaya is also known as the city of heroes. And at the bottom there are also museums. And yes, we have a lot park/garden here ❤

[@NataliesPassport]

😱 we didn’t know about the mass grave. But yes, we loved all the parks in Surabaya! 😍
