Short Trip to Ampel

Hi there ! Yesterday I went to Ampel with Ahong, Ale, & Tonpa. We spent so much time there. First, we go there on the afternoon. So many merchant, they sell many kurma, moslem’s outfit, holy qur’an, rosary, perfume, traditional food, and moslem’s books. One thing that you’ll be remember from this place is the fragrance of the perfume (I think it’s the most fragrant place in Surabaya). The fragrance spread everywhere, cool fragrance, keraton fragrance, casablanca fragrance, and the others make this place very luxury and comfortable. Before you bought, you can try that perfume for free as long as you want (as long as you won’t take it home *haha*). 

A long road with people who offering their goods. It’s called Pasar Ampel. They sell what your need all about moslems. Futhermore, in Ampel you can find many hotel an inn which can used to stay overnight. there’s 5 hotels which located near ampel, consist of Andalus Hotel, Quds Royal Hotel, Grand Kalimas Hotel, Mesir Hotel, and Ibis Hotel. Actually Ampel has been popular by Ampel Mosque which located in the center of Ampel region. That was the oldest mosque at East Java. That’s why Ampel has called religion region. Ampel still crowded even when it was working day. Many travelers keep coming everyday and many of them was coming by bus. Meanwhile, my home is near Ampel so I can visit ampel just by walking *giggle*.
