Lawang Sewu

Did I ever tell you about my vacation in Semarang ? Big No. I mean I forgot to post something about it. Since I 've been attacked by "boring virus"..I lost my idea to tell it. Ok, forget my silly mind! 

What or where is the best favorite place when I go to Semarang (let me introduce: this is my second home! my hubby is from here. So every Ied Mubarak I always come here). Back to my question, this is my answer: LAWANG SEWU. What??? is it creepy place, not recomennded for heart disease, Pregnant and nursing  mom... hihii..

First, I don't wanna tell you history Lawang Sewu. I think many people knows it! and you can find easily by Google's machine as soon as possible by write  "Lawang Sewu". Ok? deal.

I don't know why I am so like this place. Maybe because I am a kind of people having curiousity, likes  mistery, old and history. I've visited Lawang Sewu twice! Firstly I went around that place (except underground jail). But secondly, I only waited my kids (excluding Jasmine) in front of main gate. Kids were so happy  and excited. the great adventure for them: entering a creepy place in dusk time. Yes, we came over there in the evening. Imagine: a lighting in Lawang Sewu was not good. Sometimes the lights on and then suddenly off!  But this looks like a challenge for visitor, right? how long can you stay over there? meanwhile, we- specially my kids- took time for 1 hour, enough to make my heart beating! before they entered the building, I repeatedly reminded them to pray along the way. I was worry that 'something' bothering them and stayed in my kid's body (some people ever told me about this case!). But, Alhamdulillah...my kids were still Ok when they were out.

I was amazed because regional government took care Lawang Sewu in such way, so that place is worthy for tourist attraction! For entry ticket we charge Rp5000,- per person. And if you wanna entering and go around without getting lost, you must be accompanied by a guide, it's charge Rp30.000,-.

I recommend you to visit there in the evening. 'coz  it's more attractive and scary....Enjoy!
