After the museum, I jumped on a series of becak and rode around downtown Surabaya. For being the 2nd biggest city in Indonesia (3 million), behind Jakarta (22 million), it feels a lot more like Yogya; very few towering buildings, big roads, extravagant shopping malls or luxury cars.
Idul Fitri marks the end of the Ramadan fasting month. This is the big vacation time here in Indonesia, with people trekking all over the place to visit family and their home towns.
There are signs up everywhere; some sponsored by well intentioned mega-businesses and political parties who find an embedded opportunity to advertise as well.
