Day 5/8, Day 6/8, Day 7/8 and Day 8/8 - Surabaya, Indonesia

Day 5/8
Lazed around all day.


Ate maccas. Got sick. The usual; I'm never gonna learn.


Here's a rice burger that's exclusive to Indonesia.

Day 6/8
Went to Galaxy Mall to try the gaming centre there. On the way there I managed to snap a picture of the icon of Surabaya.

That is indeed a statue of a crocodile and a shark you see there.

Found another version of the Australian 'The Rocks'. Finally ate from there. Pretty tasty. No, I didn't get a mini Australian flag in my meal.


Played several games of 'how many shots can you get in before the time runs out?'
Our highest score. It was counting down the 'Continue...?' time. There were at least 3 stages. Each stage offered around 40 seconds (I forgot exactly how long) of shooting time. To get past stage 1, need to get a score of 40. To get past stage 2, need to get a score of 140. And I think to get past stage 3, a score of 300 is needed.

I also finally found CBA ATMs. Pretty good conversion rate and there's a $2 International ATM withdrawal fee. Gonna stop exchanging my monies at Sydney airport now because I always have a lot of rupiahs left over and the service fee kinda kills me a bit.

Side-note: went to the pharmency and found this shampoo. 

Looks like 'our' advertisement *mumble* years ago  succeeded in getting a product and it went global. Only the people (especially the people in 'our') who know how the advertisement went will be amused by the pic...

Day 7/8
Went to Regina's house and hung out with a mutual friend. Regina's mum cooked us deep fried tempeh.


Then we played Warrior Orochi 2 and Tekken 4 on the PS2 for a few hours. Which is great, because the last time we played together it was a Digimon MMO.

Day 8/8
Checked out at noon, and walked out of the hotel in time with a taxi making its way in. Felt like VIP to get into the taxi so soon after leaving the hotel hohoho.

Ate lunch at the new Terminal 2 of Juanda Airport. Left soup is soto daging, right is rawon.

Close up of the rawon.

I was gonna get another roti bun before I left but I ended up buying large fries and a lychee slushie and got too full. :(

Boarding time was 30 mins delayed. During boarding time, a flight staff was all 'terima kasih' to the people before me, and she was about to say the same thing when she saw me. But she glanced at my boarding pass, my name, and went 'thank you'. Haha.

Boarding time at Bali had a longer delay. At least an hour! Imagine a waiting room packed with confused people going to Brisbane, Sydney or Adelaide. Apparently the new, bigger airport there wasn't as smooth in transporting us than the old one that was 1/4 its size. I think the continuous delays (at Jakarta, Surabaya and Bali) is mostly because it's the end of the public holidays though.

Anyway, back in Sydney. And dried skin. :(

Sometimes I hear songs with "Shine on" and i think of you in that usyd theatre. Ours was definitely the best - better than that performing arts high school. Boo to them.

Chloe mentioned tempeh before but I can't remember why we both wanted to try it.
