Hiii...I'm Surabayan. Welcome to my city. 😃 I want to explain a little bit of philosophy that I know about the design of the Tugu Pahlawan (Heroes Monument). Actually this is the shape of a nail standing upside down. When the nail stands by showing its pointy side at the top, the more it is pressed the more it stabs. It means "the more people are attacked, the more they fight". This is a symbol The Battle of Surabaya, Surabayan (people & Indonesian Military) against allied troops. Which is the world's biggest war after the end of WW2. If there are also Surabaya citizen reading this, CMIIW. 😄
Welcome back, Carles !... Thank you very much to Natalie and Carles for this stunning vlog from Surabaya. If you miss with Western dishes, I believe you can find them easily in big malls/hyper/supermarkets. Take good care with your health & your safety in this uncertain weather/season, guys ! Thank you very much for visiting Indonesia. I hope you enjoy it ! Terima kasih & selamat malam..
Hello Natalie Dan Carles ... Akhirnya Bisa Berdua Lagi .... Pertualangan Hari Ini Penuh Keseruan .... Saya Bahagia Bisa Liat Kalian Berdua Kembali.... Sehat Terus Dan Semangat ❤️👍 Good Job....
You guys should try to eat Rawon (black beef soup) and Rujak Cingur (spicy salad with cow's nose), both are also iconic Surabaya delicacies as well. Thanks for visiting my hometown!
Surabaya is the heroes city.this city has beautiful places & clean city and has supermall like tunjungan plaza..and surabaya tha land of multietcnic community like javanese.chinese.arabic and others
Wow..thank you for visiting my city. It's a shame that the Sampoerna museum is currently closed. There is a lot of history related to the Chinese community in Surabaya in the past. Especially cigarette businessmen. The special food in this city besides lontong balap is rujak cingur (meaning salad with shrimp sauce and cow lips), rawon (beef black soup), fried duck, kikil sapi (cow leg soup), coconut chicken/beef satay, tahu campur (its mean tofu mixed soup with shrimp sauce, vegetable and beef and etc.. anyway enjoy your trip..Stay healthy and happy guys..

Glad Natalie and Carles look so enthusiastic in Surabaya. The city looks greener now. Yang saya tahu, Kota Tua means "Old Town" di Surabaya bangunannya dipengaruhi oleh Javanese Chinese Merchant termasuk Mesjid di Surabaya. Bagus sekali video ini, Carles dan Natalie memberi contoh "the beauty of doing nothing" dengan unplanned walking. Carles tampak bisa bahasa Mandarin? Sayang sekali tidak bisa lihat wanita-wanita pekerja di House of Sampoerna melinting rokok. Kel Sampoerna was used to be the richest person in Indonesia because beliau membangun bisnis rokok terbesar di dunia setelah perusahaan USA. Ingin melihat video kalian tentang Surabaya - ingin tahu lebih banyak lagi tentang Jawa Timur dari video kalian. Terima kasih Semoga bisa ke Bromo dan mistical Gunung Kawi. Welcome to Surabayo...
Thank you! ❤️ we had a great time walking around Surabaya, although we really wanted to go to House if Sampoerna! And yes, Carles knows a little Mandarin 🥰
If you still in Surabaya you can try to visit: - surabaya north quay. It's good for sunset time - kwan in goddess statue in kenjeran park - House of Sampoerna when it's open 😁 - boat in kalimas river in the night - various kinds of surabaya's street food at Lapangan Brawijaya (Kodam). It's a night market - Surabaya Zoo. I don't recommend this but maybe you wanna try
Hallo Natalie n Carles i'am very glad you visit my country Surabaya the City heroes, city with one thousand gardens. Enjoy your trip n all the things on Surabaya, you must try all street food in my country. Love for you Natalie n Carles. ♥️😘🇮🇩
Surabaya is the second largest city after the capital, Jakarta. Besides tourist destinations in Surabaya, you can visit Malang. There are many interesting places, one of which is the Gunung Kawi ritual tourist attraction, a very cold place🥶
Mount Kawi was ruled by Peri Hitam (Dark Elves) a place where you could Sold Your Souls in exchange for Wealth,Popularity, or Power 🥶 . Peri (Elves) was Abrorigianal Earth beings before human races they lived much longer than human but some greedy one want more so they using elixir made from human souls to prolonged their lived .
Good to know that you are now in Surabaya, I used to live there long time ago, lots of local dishes that you could enjoy, but my favorite food is rujak cingur, a salad with cartilage and meat of the nostrils and ears of cattle.
History about Surabaya Kota Tua: A lot of it burned down during the war and the owner rebuilt it in newer style of the 40’s and 60’s, since this area is still very active business area unlike Kota Tua Jakarta, so you wouldn’t find Museums or Cafes but Shops and Warehouses. Only during certain days of festival you can enjoy the touristic atmosphere of the area, but otherwise there is nothing. Surabayan “Kota Tua” is in Jalan Tunjungan, where you can find the Touristic stuff, most notably Hotel Majapahit and the new Museum Siola.
@@NataliesPassport Well, there is reason to go back then 😄 I would suggest: 1. Start at Siola Museum 2. Walk to Hotel Majapahit 3. Get the Majapahit High Tea package where they give you FREE tour of the Historic Hotel 4. Walk to Governor’s Mansion, in the afternoon there’s usually activities there. 5. Walk to Alun-Alun Surabaya, there’s Museum underneath the colonial building. Also sometimes there’s activities. 6. Eat at Zangrandi Ice Cream across Alun-Alun Surabaya, while at it book Evening Boat cruise just behind Alun-Alun through the City Website (I think it’s free) 7. Get to the Dock and enjoy boat ride along Kalimas 8. After the boat then walk to City Hall and end your trip there 😄 Maybe go to Grand City or Delta Plaza for dinner afterwards (which is walkable). Also the highlight of your Surabaya Visit should be the Culinary Experience. It lacks amusement sites but the food is rich and varies. Bebek Sinjay, Rawon Setan, Soto Pak Sadi, Bu Rudi, and Soto Ambengan is among the top Food Place to visit. Hopefully you enjoy your brief Visit. 😊
I've been following you guys recently since you started to move to Indonesia, I didn't expect you to visit my hometown which I haven't seen in four years since I moved to France, thank you for this video and I miss Lontong Balap so much! 🥺🥺🥺
Surabaya, apart from being the second largest city in Indonesia. It is also the Indonesian Naval Base for East Indonesia. You saw the old Russian Submarine cos in the late 50'sand early 60's, Indonesia has been in close cooperation with the USSR at the time under Nikita Kruschev time, but in the 70's all war planes are being replaced with Western made.
@@NataliesPassport In Surabaya, the foods price are cheaper than jakarta and bandung.....but unfortunetely, there aren't a lot of tourist spots because of Surabaya are trading and business city.....have nice day in Surabaya !!!
Hi guys welcome to my City, its a pleasure to watch you enjoying your time in Surabaya, i hope you suitable with the weather and the foods, dont forget to try the best Indonesia popular foods Nasi Goreng and Mie goreng in Surabaya Wapo Restaurant at Airlangga street no.43
Surabaya in the past was the only one that was dubbed the city of heroes in Indonesia, because all of its people took the initiative to openly declare war on the colonialists, namely the Netherlands and England. And because of the strategic location of Surabaya with the port, it is the entry point for trade in eastern Indonesia. Modern-day Surabaya was led by Tri Risma Harini, who was once the best mayor in the world because she was able to maintain a traditional village in an urban environment, and made innovations in bureaucracy and administration, as well as in the environment, so that Surabaya became increasingly popular. many international awards won one of them being the most popular city in the world. What is clear is that the history of the people of Surabaya against the invaders has made Indonesia recognized by the world and Surabaya has become a city of achievements. that is what makes Surabaya the second largest in Indonesia. Because Surabaya's track record and performance are more valuable than just the nation's capital in general. ♥️😊
Surabaya was largest city in Dutch East Indies , they declined of city started during dark Santa era in 50's when Indonesia government has closed relationship with USSR and China and forced Indo-Europeans decent with highly-qualified degree to leave Indonesia.
yeahh love to see you guys back togaterh again, 🥰🥰 love to see you both enjoying the sub marine, the gardain, the monas and the kota tua cina town😊. by the way: kuta means "town", tua means "old". so kuta tua - old town. there are a lot to know in sura baya from history to culture that is also why it has many surprising stuff that appears everwhere and to know their history and culture will help us understand it. over all, awesome tour! love to see you guys on your next video🙏🙏
Its quite nice to know that you're curious about the skatepark/skate scene in Indonesia. Its quite big actually and park is everywhere. If you go to Bali after this, try visit Kuta Beach Skatepark. Its located on the beach and soo coool.....
14:07 this is actually really interesting for me as Indonesian,.the name Kembang Jepun, could be translated as "Flower of Japan". The flower here could also euphism for women, so this place in past actually a red district with a lot of Geisha,.which is interesting because they are located in area where Chinese actually quite dominant,.🤔
@@PekebunMager that's why i found this interesting,.if we look back at our history books, there are several Indonesian historian that found that there are a lot of Geisha in this area back in the day because this place used to be huge economic hub. The reason why there are no more geisha is because Japanese government start found this phenomenon as degrading..
@@Demonwolf666-i4r okay just adding the extra point for confusion, so the japanese government pulled all of their geisha since they dont wanted to compete with the chinese ones...?? It is fascinating actually
dark shrimp paste (petis) is the secret of thats food (lontong balap), theres many kind food with "petis" likes tahu tek, rujak cingur, lontong kupang, etc
@@NataliesPassport u can ask to the owner food culinary n got permision to record the food mix proses n what inside the food! likes many local food vlogger do thats! thats is intresting to netizen 👍🏻
I like your reactions when it's spiciness, you can still laugh haha. Usually people with spiciness want to be angry haha. I have a tip before you mix chili sauce on your plate and food, try it first Drop a small amount in your hand or on a spoon. Then taste. If it feels spicy, don't take much for your plate. Nice trick wkwk
Yours eyes so beautiful like barbie and so Blue Finally Carles is back . Enjoy to surabaya . Don't forget visit Madura from suramadu bridge and try food bebek sinjak Fakta sesungguhnya Dulu Surabaya itu Panas dan kotor tapi semenjak dipimpin ibu Risman , surabaya menjadi bersih dan tidak terlalu panas karena banyak Taman dimana2 dan beberapa kali mendapat penghargaan local maunpun internasional
What I like about your channel is that you always show positivity spirit and getting it easy vibes while exploring Indonesia. I know that sometimes it’s infuriating or stressful especially when you traveling around with public transport as you were. I knew it because, even as a local, I also get stressful too when I did that! 😅 non-fixed schedule, non-fixed price, subpar facility, etc, etc. , but somehow, you just get managed to get along well with it. I see that we’re trying to be better on these regards. Maybe it’s not that fast, but I knew that we will reached a better public transport development somehow in the future. Buying a thousand bus/train is easy, but to develop a system and people who understand that it needs to be maintained, fixed, and managed, is hard. Doing it too fast, and there is a group of people that could protesting with whatever reason it is (Praise to God that we are living in democratic country anyway, it’s also their right to voice their concern). Well, enjoy our country and stay safe 😊
Aww thank you ❤️ it’s true Indonesia doesn’t have the best public transportation in some places.. BUT we absolutely LOVE angkots!!! They’re so convenient 😍
Thank you for visiting the "City of Heroes" - Surabaya, hope to find many hidden gems there ... happy exploring the journey in Surabaya, Nat & Charles !
You visit Surabaya, that close to my place, around 2 hours from my place. Since you love Gado-gado maybe you can try Rujak too, rujak similar with Gado-gado only it use different sauce, Tahu balap (racing tofu) also good and delicious. Both of those are suitable for vegetarian. But don't try Rujak cingur if you don't like meat
I hope you feel at home in Indonesia, there are still many tourist destinations in Indonesia that are worldwide, such as Bali, Lombok, Labuan Bajo, Komodo Island, Raja Ampat, Borobudur, Prambanan and many more
Hi please visit Malang to Bromo mountain. don't go Tumpak Sewuand the beachs in South of Malang, you can't go there for a couple days now. high flood just hit this area towards tumpak sewu. cant'access. Happy travelling dude
Hi Natalie Charles. Every city in Indonesia has an "OLD KOTA" which is a designation for areas that still have ancient buildings. Colonial heritage buildings that are still being cared for by the community Around. For example Semarang, Jakarta, Jogja, Surabaya, etc. they still have classic colonial buildings. Which in the past was used as a trading center, office of officials, etc
When you ate Lontong Balap and I didn't see the Sate Kerang (blood clamp satay) I was like "Nooooo! 😭" Lontong Balap is not perfect without Sate Kerang 😝
Try Rawon in Surabaya. It is their signature dish. Find Rawon setan there. You can also find sate klopo. Be careful, their nasi campur is spicy, unlike jakarta's. Damn.. I am looking for lontong balap in Jakarta desperately, FOR AGES, couldn't find a good one. You guys made me want to come home. Miss those food.
Surabaya is known as the city of 'Heroes'. Because here there was a great battle between Indonesian fighters and allied troops (Dutch and British) who wanted to re-colonize Indonesia after our independence from Japan. At the beginning of independence, Russia really helped Indonesia's war equipment (ships, submarines and fighter planes) to defend our independence.
You should visit Surabaya in October n Novembre, the time that Tabebuya flowers will bloom all over the city of Surabaya, yes tabebuya trees planted in all area in surabaya, it's like Sakura flowers from japan but it's more colourful like white, red, blue, orange, purple, yellow,,, surabaya more colourful when tabebuya bloomed, but in novembre surabaya also very hot like hell, you can cook eggs in wok directly from the sunrays without fire
Welcome to surabaya! Fun fact, in the national monument park, the place is also a mass grave for Surabaya residents who died in the war, we remember it as Heroes' Day which falls on November 10, that's why Surabaya is also known as the city of heroes. And at the bottom there are also museums. And yes, we have a lot park/garden here ❤
My friend if you wanna enjoy many beautiful places in lndonesia, you should travel around lndonesia from sabang to merauke because land is a huge and large country ,,, lndonesia has many many beautiful places ,,,, have a nice trip
you look so fresh an beautiful Natalie! and i'm glad to see charles again😅, so you had been in East Java, Surabaya is hot but amazing city, hope you both enjoy your days.
15:11 Btw if u want enjoy more of your food but with less spicy, u can add some sweet soy sauce because in every restaurant in Indonesia they have it. 😊
Surabaya is well known by Indonesian as a revolutionary city in gaining independence, which is why you see many war machines. If you see the old pillars behind the statues. There is still writing on the walls by former people fighting for Indonesian independence back then.

Hiii...I'm Surabayan. Welcome to my city. 😃
I want to explain a little bit of philosophy that I know about the design of the Tugu Pahlawan (Heroes Monument). Actually this is the shape of a nail standing upside down.

That’s so cool! It definitely makes more sense about why it’s an upside down nail ❤️
Mas, apa betul dibawah tugu itu ada kuburan massal? Saya hanya mendoakan para pahlawan

@@NataliesPassport Well, there is reason to go back then 😄

1. Start at Siola Museum
2. Walk to Hotel Majapahit
3. Get the Majapahit High Tea package where they give you FREE tour of the Historic Hotel
4. Walk to Governor’s Mansion, in the afternoon there’s usually activities there.
5. Walk to Alun-Alun Surabaya, there’s Museum underneath the colonial building. Also sometimes there’s activities.
6. Eat at Zangrandi Ice Cream across Alun-Alun Surabaya, while at it book Evening Boat cruise just behind Alun-Alun through the City Website (I think it’s free)
7. Get to the Dock and enjoy boat ride along Kalimas
8. After the boat then walk to City Hall and end your trip there 😄 Maybe go to Grand City or Delta Plaza for dinner afterwards (which is walkable).
Also the highlight of your Surabaya Visit should be the Culinary Experience. It lacks amusement sites but the food is rich and varies. Bebek Sinjay, Rawon Setan, Soto Pak Sadi, Bu Rudi, and Soto Ambengan is among the top Food Place to visit.

What I like about your channel is that you always show positivity spirit and getting it easy vibes while exploring Indonesia. I know that sometimes it’s infuriating or stressful especially when you traveling around with public transport as you were. I knew it because, even as a local, I also get stressful too when I did that! 😅 non-fixed schedule, non-fixed price, subpar facility, etc, etc. , but somehow, you just get managed to get along well with it.
I see that we’re trying to be better on these regards. Maybe it’s not that fast, but I knew that we will reached a better public transport development somehow in the future. Buying a thousand bus/train is easy, but to develop a system and people who understand that it needs to be maintained, fixed, and managed, is hard. Doing it too fast, and there is a group of people that could protesting with whatever reason it is (Praise to God that we are living in democratic country anyway, it’s also their right to voice their concern). Well, enjoy our country and stay safe 😊
Aww thank you ❤️ it’s true Indonesia doesn’t have the best public transportation in some places.. BUT we absolutely LOVE angkots!!! They’re so convenient 😍

Yesss - he’s better now 🥰 we’d love to go to both of those one day! 😍
You visit Surabaya, that close to my place, around 2 hours from my place. Since you love Gado-gado maybe you can try Rujak too, rujak similar with Gado-gado only it use different sauce, Tahu balap (racing tofu) also good and delicious. Both of those are suitable for vegetarian. But don't try Rujak cingur if you don't like meat
Thank you! Those both sound so good 😍 we really liked the lontong balap! 😍
This is my beloved city, the hero city of Surabaya, I hope you are comfortable visiting our city... Warm greetings from us, the people of Surabaya 🙏🏽

Hi Natalie Charles. Every city in Indonesia has an "OLD KOTA" which is a designation for areas that still have ancient buildings. Colonial heritage buildings that are still being cared for by the community Around. For example Semarang, Jakarta, Jogja, Surabaya, etc. they still have classic colonial buildings. Which in the past was used as a trading center, office of officials, etc
That’s so cool all the cities have that ❤️
It's call Kya Kya old town near at Kya Kya it's call jembatan merah there so many old building there and beautiful too
Thanks for letting us know ❤️
in surabaya you can try rawon (black soup) or any traditional food ,so yea im glad you back carles peace
Thank you! ❤️
Surabaya is the cleanest City in Indonesia and also Surabaya won the award the greeny city in Asia.
We loved all the parks there! ❤️
Lovely, you should try Rawon
It sounds interesting! 😱😍

Aww thank you! 🥰🥰 we always have Thai subtitles for all of our videos ❤️ we will be back next year!!
When you ate Lontong Balap and I didn't see the Sate Kerang (blood clamp satay) I was like "Nooooo! 😭" Lontong Balap is not perfect without Sate Kerang 😝
Awww lol they actually said they had satay too! But we just tried the lontong balap…luckily it was amazing! 😍
Try Rawon in Surabaya. It is their signature dish. Find Rawon setan there. You can also find sate klopo. Be careful, their nasi campur is spicy, unlike jakarta's.
Damn.. I am looking for lontong balap in Jakarta desperately, FOR AGES, couldn't find a good one. You guys made me want to come home. Miss those food.
There’s so much food to try all over Indonesia! This was the first time we saw lontong balap. It was so good 😍😍
Welcome to Surabaya, enjoy the beautiful city 👍👍👍👍👍🌹
Thank you 🥰
Surabaya is known as the city of 'Heroes'. Because here there was a great battle between Indonesian fighters and allied troops (Dutch and British) who wanted to re-colonize Indonesia after our independence from Japan. At the beginning of independence, Russia really helped Indonesia's war equipment (ships, submarines and fighter planes) to defend our independence.
Oh wow we didn’t know Russia helped Indonesia a lot 😱❤️
You should visit Surabaya in October n Novembre, the time that Tabebuya flowers will bloom all over the city of Surabaya, yes tabebuya trees planted in all area in surabaya, it's like Sakura flowers from japan but it's more colourful like white, red, blue, orange, purple, yellow,,, surabaya more colourful when tabebuya bloomed, but in novembre surabaya also very hot like hell, you can cook eggs in wok directly from the sunrays without fire
That sounds amazing! 😍
Welcome to surabaya!
Fun fact, in the national monument park, the place is also a mass grave for Surabaya residents who died in the war, we remember it as Heroes' Day which falls on November 10, that's why Surabaya is also known as the city of heroes. And at the bottom there are also museums.
And yes, we have a lot park/garden here ❤
😱 we didn’t know about the mass grave. But yes, we loved all the parks in Surabaya! 😍
My friend if you wanna enjoy many beautiful places in lndonesia, you should travel around lndonesia from sabang to merauke because land is a huge and large country ,,, lndonesia has many many beautiful places ,,,, have a nice trip
There are so many places to visit in Indonesia! 😍
"Kota Tua" literally means "Old Town". So its different in Jakarta(Dutch), Surabaya(China), Semarang(Dutch) and other city in Indonesia.
Ahh thanks for the explanation! ❤️
This is Surabaya, Natalie .. nice your day.
We had fun in Surabaya 😍
You should try indonesian torpedo..peace,full of love, n yummy..usually u can found in reston/waroeng that selling satay
We haven’t heard of that before 😱
If you want to see another Old City like Batavia you have to visit to Semarang city (north coast of Java island between Jakarta and Surabaya city)
Hopefully we can visit there one day! ❤️
Try to visit Batu, Malang, there is a lot of cool destinations
So many places to visit 😍
you look so fresh an beautiful Natalie! and i'm glad to see charles again😅, so you had been in East Java, Surabaya is hot but amazing city, hope you both enjoy your days.
Thank you! 🥰🥰
Surabaya city Hero war duck and Britania Raya 😊memories death jendral malaby in surabaya jadi kota sejarah singkat in surabaya 😊city
Don't forget visit submarine museum,
We only saw inside the submarine ❤️
Kota Tua= Old Town (The city built by the Dutch)
Pecinan Cina=China Town (The environment is dominated by Chinese)
Kalau di jakarta ada tugu monas..
Kalau di surabaya ada tugu pahlawan..
Tugu pahlawan = untuk mengenang para pejuang² surabaya..
Exactly! 😍
Please try tahu campur, rawon, nasi pecel, bebek goreng, soto ayam, and soto daging Madura. These are popular East Java cuisines.
There’s so much food to try in Indonesia! 😍
Welcome to my city Surabaya,you must try to eat semanggi Surabaya ITS delicious
It’s also veggie! 😍 sounds good!!
15:11 Btw if u want enjoy more of your food but with less spicy, u can add some sweet soy sauce because in every restaurant in Indonesia they have it. 😊
Thanks for letting us know! 😍
Welcome back Carles,
Thank you ❤️
Allright... be continued in Surabaya. Malang, Banyuwangi, Bali 😅
We still have a lot more videos coming 🥰
Surabaya is well known by Indonesian as a revolutionary city in gaining independence, which is why you see many war machines. If you see the old pillars behind the statues. There is still writing on the walls by former people fighting for Indonesian independence back then.
Oh wow! I wish we saw the writing on the walls 😱😍
