Hello Blog Walking.....
I come back to write my new topic. Now my new topic is Tugu Pahlawan. Tugu in English is monument. Pahlawan in English is heroes. Tugu Pahlawan is symbol of my town. Why like that? Tugu Pahlawan was built to remember heroes from Surabaya that fight against Dutch in 1945. At that time all of citizen in Surabaya fight against Dutch to defend independence of Indonesia, especially Surabaya. There was a moment that one of Surabaya’s citizen tear Dutch flag. The citizen tears the blue one of the flag. Because Indonesia’s flag is Red-White.

If you see Tugu Pahlawan, maybe you’ll think that the monument like a big pencil. Because when I was a child, I always called it Big Pencil. The monument is white, and then at the end is pointed like pencil. Inside Tugu Pahlawan area, there is a underground museum. If I’m not mistake, the price to enter the museum is cheap. It’s about Rp5000,00/person. Inside the museum, we can see some guns/weapon, some pictures in the past, old car, and some dramatically sculptures. Also there are some dioramas that tell history. The histories that very famous in citizen are Jembatan Merah and citizen that tears the Dutch flag. Besides museum, Tugu Pahlawan’s area also has large field. Usually in the weekend there are some events that hold there. Like the stage of fun bike or fun walk, and also stage for concert some bands/singers to celebrate Surabaya’s birthday (31 May). The entrance of Tugu Pahlawan is the sculpture of The first President and co-president of Indonesia. They are Ir.Soekarno and Moh.Hatta. The sculpture is tell when they was read proclamation script to Another habit is every weekend, there are many seller sell anything around outside Tugu Pahlawan’s area. It’s always makes traffic jam around there.
