Tulungagung, East Java




Tulungagung is 3 hours drive - southern of Surabaya. This is the place
where my mom was born. And this the place of Fokker was born. This city
keeps alot of things to see including the Dutch Sugar Factory -
Modjopanggung and the silver bridge on Brantas river.

  1. Some of the sugar factories in West Java are already demolished... Too bad, all the dutch colonial houses are gone for nothing... (T_T)

  3. I grew up in Sugar Factory since my Dad was a chief Engineer there. That's why I love Dutch Colonial Buildings !!! The sugar factory that I had been living was already vanished... nothing left !!! I missed the long lorries, the locomotives, the sugar cane field... (T_T)

  7. Betul banget... Perayaannya itu memang ada setiap tahun... biasanya kalo mereka mau mulai musim giling tebu selalu diadakan Selamatan dulu !!! Aku suka banget karena pasti kompleks rumahku jadi kaya pasar malam gitu... hehehehe (^_^)
