Lets Come to Kenjeran Bridge Surabaya

Saturday turned out I left my father and my mother and my little sister. The three of them went to Kenjeran and visit the sights of the latest in the city of Surabaya. Attractions such as the bridge that crosses the coast Kenjeran it was newly opened and inaugurated in July yesterday after Eid.

My father said may be long bridge was about 1 kilometer, passing from the left side of the Old Kenjeran beach amusement park up on the left side of SD Muhammadiyah Kenjeran. When the morning and afternoon of vehicles such as cars and motorcycles can be free to pass around and crossed the bridge because it was not too crowded. The location of this bridge can be easily achieved, ie straight from the highway Mulyosari up Kenpark or Pantai Ria Kenjeran, or from the highway Kenjeran straight up stuck and met with Kenpark then turn it to the left and follow the road until approximately 1 km.

When weekends maybe banned vehicles crossed the bridge, but do not worry because in the prior and next to the bridge has provided a vehicle parking space is large enough. Surely it would be more fun to enjoy the sea view from the bridge on foot without having complicated with our vehicles. On the left side of the bridge lanes reserved exclusively for pedestrians so do not worry about getting hit by a vehicle passing by.

Right in the middle of the bridge is built the iron cross. Construction still looks new and powerful father said. Built-rise on the upper level where we can look towards the open sea Madura Strait. The floor on the upper level beranyam wicker made of iron, but for those of you who are afraid of heights and I urge strong winds do not go up to the 2nd floor of the bridge. A lot of people are afraid to go up to the 2nd floor of the bridge, as the father said. People just gathered in the lower part.

Anyway every weekend night the Saturday there will be a colorful fountain show at the bridge. When viewed on the internet is really good looks of the bridge at night and there was the fountain show. I was so proud became children of Surabaya, my town has a wide range of exciting entertainment venues. Until next time friends, See you again with ULIL stragglers.

"Beautiful Parks on Ketabang Kali Surabaya"

There are many Beautiful Parks in Surabaya, because the current mayor is a woman and has an academic background of the environment engineering. One of them is located in the uptown Surabaya and people even called Taman Prestasi Ketabang Kali, close to the town hall of Surabaya.

Being in a very strategic location makes the park this one was never of visitors every day. But of course by the time the weekend is the moment when, where visitors will be booming.

Several years ago, I had suffered to get into the park charged entrance fee of a few thousand rupiah not including parking tickets motorcycles and cars. But the admission is now no longer holds, only tickets MOTOR 3 THOUSAND RUPIAHS PARKING !!! Either official parking or not clear where parking rates are still 2 THOUSAND THOUSAND RUPIAHS rose to 3, it is clear that THOUSAND rupiah into the pockets MAFIA MANAGER OR PARK PARKING.

I had been to the park this achievement on Sunday by chance rather late, still beautiful and relatively clean. The most attention is the monument of the aircraft, but now the stairs up to the top of the plane was not there so visitors can not board the plane. Perhaps the top of the aircraft has been a lot of very porous so would endanger visitors, mostly children.

Maybe because pas Sunday at the corner of corner of the park I met a lot of hawkers hold merchandise inside the park. I'm actually a bit surprised because he had not been to this park to find it, because the last time the hawkers are only allowed to trade outside the garden fence. For me it should be a concern for the management of the park and the local district.

Here and there I found a lot of rubbish bins which DESTRUCTIVE beautiful view of the garden. This is different from the other parks namely GARDEN SEEDS Bratang Surabaya, hawkers are not allowed into the park area. And of course the condition of the garden look more awake and clean.

Old locomotive Pasar Turi Train Station

As a faithful user of the train, Surabaya Pasar Turi train station is certainly not foreign to me, all the ins and outs of the station almost me know. However there is one unique fact that just I knew or I realized some time ago.

If you frequently or never to Surabaya Pasar Turi trainstation of course, you'll see in the middle of the parking lot there is an old black locomotive stands proudly like a monument. Initially I just assume that old locomotive just as mere decoration objects and historic relics of course.

But the few times I observe and note turned out locomotives will be producing a sound like a train that was going to run at the same time as the train schedule to be set off at the same time. At first I considered it just a coincidence it's true, every time a train was about to leave the old locomotives that will sound and move like a train about to depart.

Hmm at least now i knew that every station in Indonesia has the uniqueness of each is a pity to miss. As with the old locomotive in Surabaya Pasar Turi station.
