Cuban Ronda Waterfall
by yatingchen
The first time I see the tropical waterfall. From the parking place it took us only short way walking to arrive.
In bus we were dizzy, but the waterall waked us up. It's thin and powerful, spraying in 20 meters far and my glasses became foggy. The surroundings were also amazing, green, green, green like in advertisement film. (Palm shower gel or Shapoo) Many local indonesiens also went there for a short trip, a hot touring spot in Surabaya area.
The B.B.Q corns with curry sauce by food vendors there is also recommended, each costs 6 NTD only. (32NTD=1USD ; 38NTD=1EUR) They are white corns, not sweet, aboriginal, but tastes natural and still good.
Foreign Currency
by blue_sky04
US Dollar is widely accepted. If you need to exchange the currency, you can do it in the local or foreign banks and moneychangers. Sometimes travel agents accept currency exchange, too.
Other foreign currencies that are easily converted/exchanged are Euro, Australian dollar, Hong Kong dollar, and Singapore dollar.
For US dollar, please note that banks and moneychangers often refuse the dollar note printed PRIOR to 1996 (the series). There is a joke here saying, “The bank loves the BIG HEAD.” The “big head” means the US dollar note with the series of 1996 or afterward because the picture of the presidents printed in the note is much bigger than in the previous note.

Prigi Beach
by Perucha
Not many people knows Prigi beach - not even listed in VT. I went there not in plan either! But I found it very beautiful!
Prigi is 4 hours driving to the south from Surabaya, 30 min from Tulungagung - the closest city.
Ayam Goreng PEMUDA
by lupit about Ayam Goreng PEMUDA
Definitely the best fried chicken place in Surabaya for many years! Pemuda means MAN, and consequently this place only employs men. Ayam goreng (fried chicken) - the only menu! They use free range chicken or 'ayam kampung', very tasty, marinated in some spices (including tumeric) and fried upon ordering. Eaten with steamed rice, sambal (chilli sauce) and fresh cucumber. Fresh salad and fried chicken liver and giblets are also available.
