Journey to the West - Part #1


Its been a week i didn't write new entry. Like I wrote in my previous entry, I'm going to Surabaya, Indonesia last weekend. This phototrip consists of 12 photogs (including me). After 2 hours flight delays, we fly to the west (Indonesia generally or East Java specifically). Arrived at Juanda International Airport at 3am in the morning (Malaysia time) or 2am (Indonesia time). Upon arrival, we were welcomed by our tour guide (Mas Faizal). The first agenda that we have in the early morning is to find the place to hang out because we only managed to check in the hotel after 12 noon (OMG, its about 9 hours to go). So, Mas Faizal bring us to one of the hang out place and have some coffee (Kapal Api) and Indomee (only Rapla ordered it) while waiting for Subuh prayer.

After performing Subuh prayer, we heading to Suramadu Bridge which is located between Surabaya and Madura (about 10-20min drive from the town). From what Pak Mashud (local citizen) story, Suramadu bridge with 5438 meters long bridge is the first in Indonesia so that it become the inter-island connection city of Surabaya to Madura island, East Java. The first thing that capture my eyes is the sunrise. Its a very breath-taking sunrise that morning.
