On staying over @ Hotel Majapahit Surabaya
My friend booked the hotel Majapahit for a night in Surabaya, on our way to Ijen Indonesia. This hotel was built in 1910 and was around for nearly 100 years. It was a luxury hotel and it's design was all victorian style.
By looking at the outside and inside, it's just a normal hotel with nice historical architecture. But it has the historical story behind this building...
The hotel was the site of the famous "Insiden Hotel Yamato" (in English "Hotel Yamato incident") on 19 September 1945 in which young Indonesian revolutionaries tore the blue part of the Dutch flag flown in the hotel to change it to the red and white Indonesian flag in the lead up to the Battle of Surabaya. Following this incident it became known as the Hotel Merdeka, or the Liberty Hotel. (Detail: Hotel Majapahit @ Wikipedia )
After visited this hotel, i have learn on how the Indonesia flag come about....
How Malaysia flag come about. Anyone?
