Surabaya has been growing into modern city. Lots of malls and shopping

center available in this city. One of the best shopping place in

Surabaya based on my opinion is Tunjungan Plaza or people call it TP.

That's the most popular mall in Surabaya. It's located on Jalan Basuki

Rachmad and Jalan Embong Malang Surabaya. Why is it located on two

streets? Yap, because TP is a big mall. It has four main buildings, TP

I, TP II, TP III, and TP IV.

Furthermore TP provides many facilities. For example wide parking lot
for cars and motorcycles, overpass, movie theater, department store,
studio foodcourt, etc. You can find many branded shops, local and
international food restaurants, also fitness center. When you visit
this mall for the first time, maybe you'll get confuse, but you can
check the directions or ask the securities. Even when you run out of
money, only with window shopping might be a pleasure for you.
I always feel comfortable when I'm visiting TP. Sometimes I watch
movie or just have lunch at the foodcourt, so I recommended this mall
as a topic in this blog.

Bebek Mercon for the spicy hunters in Surabaya

Bebek Mercon is one of the favorite food in Surabaya. it can be translate into English 'firework ducks' (it is sound so silly). it is made from fried ducks and we can eat it with sambal. Sambal is spicy sauce that made from so many chili but it is different with the sauce who sells in mini market. 

That's the looking of the Bebek Mercon. Why is it called Bebek Mercon? because, the seller use so many chilli for the sambal and when we eat it with the nice fried ducks it will be like a firework in our mouth. Boom ...boom....boooom. That's the sound of the firework. For people who don't like with the spicy food please don't try this food. 

This famous food is located in Kayoon Street 10A Surabaya near the Plaza of Surabaya. We can choose the level of the spicy. Start from the lower until the higher. The price is only 11.000 rupiahs per portion. It is very cheap for the amazing culinary like this. 

don't forget to try this !

The most favorited ice cream in Zangrandi is Macedonia, because it’s rich of rum aroma. The texture of Zangrandi’s ice cream is not as smooth as today ice cream because it makes from old recipes.

You also can order snack while enjoying your ice cream. The ice cream tart also available in this restaurant. You don’t need to buy one tart, just order one slice or more to taste it. The price in this restaurant is reasonable, so this restaurant would be special option if you visited Surabaya.

DTC Surabaya best shopping place ever

I’m back guys,

My posting today is about the best shopping place in Surabaya. I’m in love with shopping. Maybe I can say that I’m shopaholic. The place that I choose is Darmo Trade Center.  Sometimes people called it DTC, maybe because it’s too long when we need to say the whole abbreviation.

I will give you some recommended about this place. This is the best place for all shopaholic who don’t have any much budget but still want to get good quality. This is the place girls …..

It’s like a mall but actually it is not. At the first time I got shop here with my friends. Yeah, with my new friends from university. It’s very close with my campus. All of the things that we want we can find it there. Start from the cheap one until the expensive ones. In this place you need to be smart buyer. How to get your favorite thing with best quality and especially with low price. My friends always recommend me when I need to buy something. They always said that it is better if you shop there than you need to buy in mall.

The things that I bought sometimes shoes. I’m not really like to buy things like clothes or dress by self. It is better I go to shopping with my mom. In DTC, I can find any shoes that really update now. I’m following the trend and I choose shoes that suitable for me. Talking about the price, it is very cheap if you can bargain the price with the seller you will get the price that you want and suitable for your budget. I realize that when I need to go shopping the budget is the first thing that I think before.

If you can buy one pair of shoes in mall, here you can buy more than one pair of shoes and you can be update your fashion. Actually, not only for shoes but you can find any bag, accessories, dress and all of the man stuff.

Please be smart buyer here, ask your friends or relatives if you don’t really good at bargain something.

So, for all of the shopaholic I really recommend you shopping here, all of the girls looking for good quality and low price….

Previously, Britain had become the host for the first time in 1908 with logo

other than that on the show as there is usually an Olympic mascot used to liven up the event itself. At this year's Olympic mascots used are Wenlock and Mandeville.

and I also have the video about the mascot ... check this out

opening ceremony that was held very lively, there are several stages, such as the delivery of a torch to light the torch. Moreover, the involvement of David Beckham in the making splashy event in the Olympics this year. I also have favorite scene for the opening ceremony

not only involved david beckham, daniel craig is also involved in the mission this time is to invite the Queen Elizabeth II to go to the Olympic stadium by helicopter.

Opening Ceremony of London 2012 Olympic Games

London 2012 Olympics Games officially opened on July 27, 2012 local time at the Olympic stadium. The opening ceremony which cost about 400 billion rupiahs occurred very festive and luxurious. Olympics that followed about ten thousand athletes representing 204 countries is the thirtieth Olympics games. Oak tree that rises above the grassy mound in the opening ceremony was made of steel and fiberglass. But the grass around it is a real grass and wild flowers adorn the stage. Voldemort is controlled by cables and ropes.

Another interesting thing when Queen Elizabeth II jumped from a helicopter with Daniel Craig (James Bond) using a parachute display the British flag. But do you know that Queen Elizabeth II who jumped it is not the real queen? Yap! She was a stuntman, Gary Connery.

The Legendary British football player, David Beckham drove a boat that delivered the Olympic torch. And I admitted he seemed absolutely attractive.

The most amazing to me is the fire that ignited into a circle and then a huge torch which can close like a flower bud. Later became a big torch.

But do not worry you can watch the opening ceremony of London 2012 Olympics Games via Youtube.

All About Indonesian Football

I get confused when I wanna wrote this article. Why? Because, talking about Indonesian football we will talk about many things! Like the football player, the supporter, the football officer, the game, etc…

And they are interesting to be a topic to talk. But, don’t worry guys…. I will tell you one by one just for you.

Andik, Diego, Gonzalez, and Bambang (from google.co.id)

Now, we’ll talk about the player! Wow… Indonesia has so many football players. There are from the state or from another country. And they are divided into some club in Indonesia. Andik Vermansyah is one of them. Andik is come from Jember, Indonesia. But he joined Persebaya (one of the Indonesian football club). He has good skill, he always disrupt the opponent’s defense. The opposite teams always think that Andik is dangerous for their defense. So they always make a tight defense for him. Besides Persebaya, Andik is including a player from The National Team of Indonesia. Besides Andik, we have Diego Michiels. Diego Michiels has cute face ^^ He has many fans because of it. I think, Diego’s skill is not too good and not too bad. Because, sometime he makes some mistake. He joined Persija and he is the football player of Indonesia’s National football team, but different team with Andik. Ahaha, I think you got confused about our football club! I’ll tell you later guys….

Ohya, I forget if Diego is Indonesian-Dutch football player. Next player is Christian “El Loco” Gonzalez. He comes from Uruguay! He has good skill. His accuracy to score is good too. He joined Persisam. He’s one of football player of Indonesia’s National football team. But also in different team with Diego and Andik :p Next… Bambang Pamungkas! Hahaha, I know this name from I was a child until now! Bambang is the best player in Indonesia. He always be the football player of Indonesia’s National football team. Give applause for him ^^

Timnas Senior (from google.co.id)

When we talk about the Indonesia football player, we always talk about the football club and the national football team of Indonesia. There are so many football clubs in Indonesia. There are Persebaya, Persib, Persibo, PSMS, Persisam, Persija, etc. Like in Europe, the name of club is the name of where it originates J . Persebaya is a club from Surabaya. Persija is a club from Jakarta. Persib is a club from Bandung, etc… if you want to know more about it, you can open this site: names of Indonesia football club but sorry, the language is in Bahasa L . Then about the national football team. Indonesia has some national football team. Why? Because it divided by the football player’s age. In Bahasa, the national team is Tim Nasional (Timnas). There are Timnas U-15 , Timnas U-19 , Timnas U-21 , Timnas U-23 , and Timnas Senior. Timnas U-15 is means if the football players are in 15 years old or more than 15 years old. Timnas U-19 is means if the football players are in 19 years old or more. It also use to Timnas U-21, Timnas U-23, and Timnas Senior. Andik Vermansyah joined the Indonesia’s national football team who is 21 years old (in Timnas U-21). Diego Michiels joined the Indonesia’s national football team who is 23 years old (in Timnas U-23). Then Bambang Pamungkas and Christian “El Loco” Gonzalez joined the Indonesia’s national football team which has been regarded as a senior in Indonesian football (in Timnas Senior).

The Faithful supporter (from google.co.id)

Football is nothing without supporter! Supporter is very important in the football matches. The supporter’s yell is take effect to the match, including the football player. Why would like that? Because supporter’s yell is make the football player re excited when they feel tired or etc. I ever watch a football match at football stadium near my home. The match is so alive! Because of supporter’s yell :D that’s my first experience to watch football match. Then Indonesian supporter is faithful with their lovely football club. Whenever and wherever their lovely football club has a match, they will follow them just to support. If one football club against another football club who has been the rival for long time, the supporter will have a conflict each other L BUT if the national football team of Indonesia has a match, they will be a BIG SUPPORTER who don’t have any conflict. Freak, right?

from google.co.id

The achievements of Indonesia national football team are not too good and not too bad. Sometimes when our team already qualified for the final, something bad is happen. Like, suddenly our team was lose or suddenly our team was not show their spirit like they was show at qualifying. I think, they always feel satisfied when they in final. Whereas they have get the trophy of the match yet. I’m so disappointed to them L

In AFF Cup 2010, Indonesia national football team already qualified for the final but something bad was happen. Indonesia was lose at that time from Malaysia. In Sea Games 2011, Indonesia already qualified for the final and we meet Malaysia again at that time. The people of Indonesia really want Indonesia national football team can revenge their defeat at AFF Cup, but we lose again L in Hassanal Bolkiah Trophy last month, we already qualified for the final AGAIN! But We Lose AGAIN L it’s bad, right? Indonesia is unlucky national football team L

I wish, Indonesia national football team can win a match one day and bring a trophy for the Faithful supporter in Indonesia :D Amin…..

I think is enough. Good bye, see you later on my new article J I'm sorry if my English is bad.
