Surabaya town Square / Sutos

It’s one of the new malls that have built in Surabaya. Located on Jl. adityawarman and hayam wuruk Surabaya. The built is big and there are many of cafes and boutiques. The cafes open until 12 A.M It also has theatre XXI, and it is the biggest one of the XXI. It has 6 studio and has big lobby. So cool !!!

Located on jalan Basuki rahmat Surabaya. It is one of the biggest plaza and complete plaza. Yup.. there are consist 4 part, TP 1, TP 2 / east plaza, TP3 and TP4 / SOGO.

Cinema 21 is the first built, consist of 4 studio, the ticket is cheaper that XXI, 15000 IDR ( normal day ) and 20000 ( weekend) and mostly the film which is show are Indonesian movie.

All the day I walk in Malioboro... and for the last day, we visited this temple. But, because I was tired at that time.. so I decide to wait in parking lot with my friend hehehe...

Now.. one year later, I visit this temple again!!!
I went with my boardinghouse friend and my friend from hiperkes. hihihi.. I make friend with them, and one of the is cite. His name is Dr. Bram Sttt.... it is secret yah :P
