it's a brigthful saturday morning. wake up @0445 am and preparing myself for a city cycling tour with my church fellow. we're gather in front of GKI ruungkut asri church. 5 peoples ready to start our journey to central surabaya in taman bungkul. which is a place where the bikers (note : using bycicle) gathers. one more thing, there's a term which known as 'NGGOWES' , an activity that the byciclist do. the term from the words 'gowes', a slank words for cycling in indonesian.

so we,re start @0615 am, and start our journey. i'm using my mountainbike. were begin from rungkut, panjang jiwo street, rayanginden, ngagel, darmokali and then go to taman bungkul.

taman bungkul is crowded with the bikers, some people just talking with their friends, others have a breakfast, and some people join the workout. its a lively place with different kind of pwople and lots of activity. and the trees is magnificent and make the ambience calm and breezy.

after had a break, we decide to bike more further until tugu pahlawan or monument of heroes.

we've met some bikers in the roads. ive noticed buildins that caught my attention like silver craftman shop, that looks like from 80, and still using the dutch colony building

empire place, building that used for wedding venues, the architecture based on the colonial roman style.

and the famous of tugu pahlawan, an icon of surabaya city.

The interesting things in this stall is the entertainment that they give. theyve got keroncong. and their singing old songs, and i saw some of the customers request a song to them. cause its an old songs so i just enjoy the ambience.
