Photo Essay: HOUSE OF SAMPOERNA in Surabaya, Indonesia

by

Not gonna lie, but I’ve been telling everyone that prior to visiting Surabaya, I don’t know much about the place and the fact that most historical events in Indonesian politics actually took place here. After attending a conference at Universitas Airlangga, I had the chance to explore the city, more particularly, its museums. The first museum I was able to see is House of Sampoerna, a tobacco museum.

SEJARAH CITA RASA TINGGI. This is an Indonesian counterpart to the Philippines’ “Sari-Sari Store”. It’s funny to know that the word “tingi” is part of the sari-sari store culture of the Philippines. It means “retail”, while the Indonesian word “tinggi” means something else.
