Journey to the West Part #3 (finale)

Ok all, this is the final part of my journey to the west. I really hope that I'll be back someday in the future to the country that full of excitement and culture.


Angkot- The transport of the city was supported by public transport of the city transport (angkot), taxi and city bus. Due to the high density traffic here in Surabaya, their local citizen prefer using the public transport rather than drive along the road.


Street Stall - there are hundreds of semi-permenant outlets like this on the street of Indonesia.



House of Sempoerna - its a headquater for famous cigarette brand in Indonesia, Sempoerna or previously known as Dji Sam Soe.

Mount Bromo

To reach to the crater, visitors must take a steep path of 250 steps leadd to the edge of the crater.


Mount Bromo isn't the highest mointain in Java but it's probably the most famous one.
Mount Bromo - edged tinged with the white sulphur and always bubbling. You better cover up your nose because of its unpleasant smell.

Living in the shadow of Indonesia's Volcanoes

Indonesia - Unity in Diversity..i've ask Mr. Google and show me that there are about 300 ethnic groups and more than 700 languages and dialects (believe it or not). But that's not all, the main reason i wrote this entry is to share about the landscapes and natures available in Indonesia. Belching volcanoes such as Mount Semeru and Mount Bromo are portals to a subterranean world that shapes not only Indonesia's landscape, but also its beliefs and culture. OMG, i just can't wait to travel to Surabaya this weekend to see the beauty of Indonesia by myself. It'll be the very fascinating trip thru the weekend because this is my first time travelling there.
Actually this entry is the teaser only. There will be a sequel for this entry. I'll update by next week (after I touch down to Malaysia).


p/s: sorry, for this entry there will be no pic of Mount Bromo. Will update with a lot of pics in the sequel (just wanna add my pics only...that's why i named my blog everyday thru MY VIEWFINDER.
