Street in the heart of the Dutch colonial old town of Surabaya, with its Dutch colonial architecture. Specifically here Chinatown.
Surabaya was already a significant port of the Hindu Majapahit Empire (13th century to 1500s), whose capital was nearby. It was also one of the first ports on the North Coast of Java to receive significant Islamic missionary activities. In particularly, the Sufi saint Ampel from the 15th century was famous for spreading Islam from here to Java. After the fall of the Majapahit Empire, it became part of a Muslim Javanese successor state, the Mataram Sultanate. The Dutch, who slowly colonized Indonesia from Batavia/Jakarta, conquered it only in the 1750s. Soon, however, Surabaya grew into an important colonial port exporting sugar cane and tobacco from the interior.
The Dutch colonial Surabaya was divided roughly in 3 to 4 neighbourhoods: the walled Dutch town, Chinatown where the Chinese traders lived, the Muslim Ampel neighbourhood to the north, which had also an Arab community, and the old Javanese neighbourhood to the south, a remnant of the pre-colonial town.
In this street, houses from the 18th to 19th century are preserved, in a Dutch tropical style. Around the corner, splendid Art Nouveau, Art Deco, ecclectic and early modernist buildings are abundant.
Surabaya was the birthplace of Sukarno, the first president of Indonesia. Surabaya was one of the first cities in the Dutch-East Indies to proclaim independence from the Dutch in 1945, after the Japanese occupiers left. This history is still much celebrated in town.
Today, Surabaya is the second largest and most important city of Indonesia and is a modern city with much history preserved. There are lots of young people who are stimulating a vibrant coffee culture, with local Indonesian Arabica beans.
Java, my first partner's dog I just learned this past Saturday was put to sleep. She was 12 years old.
I've never met a dog in my entire life that was as unique and special as she was. Java was part Grey Wolf and German Shepherd. She was so incredibly smart and just aware of her entire surroundings. If she had met you just once, she would have remembered who you were and be so excited to see you. When you stared into her marbley gold eyes....it was like she was staring into your soul.... I will always treasure the time we shared together...
Rest in Peace girl....
I will see you one day again on the Rainbow Bridge....

Java and Balin stretch out for a break on my desk. If they stretch out just a little more my laptop will be on the floor. Fortunately, I am familiar with their wily ways! They are brothers, one long hair and one short hair. They were in constant physical contact like this the entire first year.
