Dangers From the Lonely Planet From the Lonely Planets' travel guide, pg 315 Dangers & Annoyances "The main worry in Surabaya is the traffic. In most large Javanese cities it is hard to cross the street but is almost impossible on Surabaya's big, four-lane roads, which have constant traffic and few traffic lights or pedestrian bridges. The only way to cross the streets is to wait for the traffic to subside (it never stops), head out into the road and motion with one hand for the traffic to stop. Cross yourself in prayer with the other hand." TOUTS Don't carry a lot of money on you. This isn't a particularly dangerous city, but it is a large city ... with all the inherent dangers of any large city. Don't be a yutz ... use your head. |
