Surabaya

Banks and Kentucky Fried Chicken. That is Surabaya. Probably not the nicest place I've been...but I'm only here for a night. And thank god i packed the Oreos cause I'm thinking thats dinner. I once again found myself a beautiful $9 hotel and am stayin in the middle of nowhere! But there is a park across from me so I'm currently creepin on some kids playing soccer before the rain comes. Note picture. I'm thinking theres going to be a soccer practice and i may just creep on that too. I was the only white girl on the plane and still feel that way. Comfort zone...whats that?!?!

My taxi driver didn't speak a word of english and handy enough took me to a 5* hotel instead of where I'm staying. It took another taxi and another $30,000rph before i arrived at my new place. I'm exhausted and looking forward to Singapore. Somehow i believe i will meet someone who speaks english there. There is an hr time change here which on days like today make the days much longer!

As it turns out i needed real food so i marched downstairs and asked a group of ppl if i could join them for dinner. They said sure and we enjoyed a lovely meal with actual english! Pretty exciting. I'm now waiting to depart to Singapore. I love my spontaneous decisions to travel to places but boy do i not research! Its apparently expensive but beautiful so hopefully i can get some info at my hostel to point me in some interesting directions. I had dinner with an Ausi and he said it will be very much like Australia price wise so i will know my budget.
