This is a working coffee plantation, it produces coffee. You can see the entire proces from the coffee plant to the roasted coffee bean. You can also taste their coffee in the cafe. They have all their coffee there to taste and you can chose how the coffee is made for you, from Indonesia way as kopi tubruk, as filtered, or French press. There is also a restaurant where you can eat a bit. The factory can be visited as well to see the roasting and milling. In the factory there is all the coffee they produce for you to smell and of course you can buy the coffee here, in powder, or as whole beans. Coffee in the form of powder can also be bought in the cafe.There is a small packet and a bigger one. I bought small packages of all to taste at home and bought a kilo of whole beans from the most nicest smelling coffee. There is also a museum with a lot of stuff from the past and many of that stuff is Dutch. Also the sign board on the entrance gate is still in Dutch and from the past. Some buildings at the plantation are also still from the Dutch area and build by the Dutch. Street names inside the plantation and some signs boards in building have still Dutch names or writings. And the name itself Keboen Kopi Karanganjar, is still the old Dutch writing. In modern Indonesia, keboen (garden) is nowadays written as kebun. For me that was interesting to see as I am Dutch but also partly Indonesian. Besides the museum there is also a small souvenir shop and there is coffee education, where they explain al about coffee. We have also met the current owner, who is now the third generation. That was very interesting and he took the time to speak with us. All the employees here where very friendly and helpful. We stayed here about 4 hours. We came already in the afternoon and so towards the evening there was an enormous sound of all sorts of animals and insects living in the trees in and around the plantation. That was also a nice experience. I can strongly recommend this interesting place. It is interesting about coffee, it is nature, and it is calm and relaxing.

The mosque is the pride of the citizens of Malang City. Here we can worship five times a day in prayer and Friday prayers freely, with ample mosque space. Its strategic location makes this mosque also a destination for tourists who happen to be visiting around the town square of Malang. #batulocalguides #letsguide

An interesting monument and a great museum that commemorates and tells the story of the battle of Surabaya very well. It situates it well in the wider struggle for Indonesian independence, but the museum doesn't go into so much detail there, background knowledge helps. However it covers the battle in great detail, and has an array of information, photos, maps, dioramas and actual weapons used in the battle. Very friendly staff with great knowledge and a high level of English. They even approached me and asked if two new younger staff could practice their presentations in English, which is amazing to see, a great practice that shows how much they care about the museum and people's experience. Although they were young, once again their knowledge and English was amazing. The museum and staff rightfully take pride in showcasing a key part of Surabayan and Indonesian history.

As it goes with my title.. This is a must place to visit in Surabaya. Seriously, you have to clear your schedule for 1 or 2 hours, then go there. The museum is free to enter. On second floor, you can see the old "kretek" (Kretek are cigarettes made with a blend of tobacco, cloves and other flavors. The word "kretek" itself is an onomatopoetic term for the crackling sound of burning cloves) factory. And what I love from the second floor is that souveniers are sold there! Unlike common souveniers that you can easily find on the street, they sell something more unique. But note that almost all souveniers have very strong odor of the "kretek".

This mall is very recomended for friends, couple and family. There are weekly events, such as concert, live music, auto motive exhibition, etc. What I like is the TLC restaurant, as there are many upscale restaurants here, I think TLC is the most convinience restaurant with reasonable price, unique decorations and many promotion during lunch or Happy hour
