Hilton Intl Surabaya

As well as having our good friends Yasmin and Farook staying from Hong Kong, we also had 2 amazing surprises on our 40th (!)<br>After tennis and a swim, I was just emerging from the shower, when I heard David answering the door .... I just threw on a pareo thinking it was the house boys coming in to clean, and scurried past the hallway into the lounge, glancing at the front door ...

... sweets in everyone's lap. I was sitting at the back of the bus so was watching him and after handing them all out to everyone he went back to the front and started collecting them again - if no one wanted to buy them that is. At the next stop a hawker with newspapers go on and followed the same tactic. It didn't matter if you ...

Salut tout le monde, Nous allons bien (ma phrase favorite) Nous devons vous faire un resume de notre disparition vers le Mont-Bromo. (pas d'internet bien entendu les volcans font sans doute des signaux de fumee donc pas besoin d'internet. hihi) Nous avons quitte Gogya le matin (2 janvier) pour se payer un petit trajet de 11 heures de bus. Nous sommes arrive tres tard a notre guest house. Tres mignon, genre chalet non insonorise et non isole. Donc nous avons eu droit a un taux d ...

... I will be taking it easy friday night. I fly into Kuala Lumpur. I imagine that room service and a good nights rest will be all I want. But, who knows? My flight the next morning is at 7:00 am and I land at 8:00 am. I imagine there is a time change that I don't know about. The first thing on my agenda is to pick up the race packet. Then I will head to Angkor Wat to explore the temples ...

Definitely no photos with this entry. My previous efforts have been full of exclamation marks because of the fun/luxury/excitement/novelty etc. This story is far more real and I am very aware of my incompetence to tell it. SES supports a charitable foundation based at a government hospital in the city centre. Our students who opt for homework club and receive help/guidance to improve their work, pay for that activity ...

... see the sunrise but just see the fog instead. Traveling down to the vast plain leading to Mount Bromo-a silvery mountain standing high with sulfur smoke billowing from the top. I took a horse ride to the stair that lead to the volcano's crater. Around 200 steps almost took my breath away! Amazing sight ,indeed!!!!!!!

... middle of a volcano valley with other smoking volcanoes in the distance. The lava that flawed from it formed some "moon like" surfaces in the valley and it was quite beautiful at sunrise. Sunrise only lasts about 15 minutes since we are on the equator. You can also look down inside Bromo and get a great view of the conical structure with smoke spewing out from the bottom. Overall, it was quite stunning, but not ...

... crater and I didn't know which direction to look since everything was still dark. I found an opening and immediately set up my camera and tripod. It was annoying to have these many people on one spot all looking for the same thing. I remembered eight years ago when it was just me and 3 other people. I saw the sun breaking through the cloud of mist just below the horizon. Slowly, the orange color penetrated through blanket of black and gray. It would have ...

... get through the visa line, I had to pay $25 to enter in the country for less than 30 days. Getting off the plane, I felt like i was definitely in a new part of town. There were tons of bats flying in the night sky, and I was welcomed by Guntur and his family in Surabaya, Indonesia. It was my first night in Indonesia. Unfortunately for us, the car didn't work. for those who don't know, Surabaya is in the eastern part of Java. Guntur conveniently had a home there, so I was ...

... sejak jaman Belanda dahulu. Selain itu, Surabaya memang terkenal dengan makanannya yang Mak Nyus kalo pak Bondan bilang, coba saja soto ambengan yang kesohor. Soto ini merupakan soto Lamongan, namun karena di jual di jalan ambengan dan sangat laris maka lebih dikenal dengan soto ambengan. Ada juga ayam bakar kwali, rujak cingur, dan masih banyak lagi. Karena terlalu sering ke Surabaya, jadi tidak banyak yang bisa ku ceritakan dari kota ...
