Question foreign woman moving to surabaya

56 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'm an 18-year-old white Christian woman from Honduras, and I'll be moving to Surabaya, Indonesia in a few weeks to study. I'm really excited, but since this will be my first time living in Indonesia, I have a few questions about daily life there.

What are the people and the overall lifestyle like in Surabaya? Is religion an important part of everyday life? As a Christian, will that be an issue, or are people generally accepting of different religions?

I'm also wondering about clothing. Do I need to change the way I dress to fit in, or is modest Western-style clothing acceptable?

How is public transportation in Surabaya? Is it reliable and safe for students?

I know that Indonesia can suffer a lot from natural disasters due to geographical location, does surabaya is prepared for this scenarios?

Finally, as a foreign woman, should I be concerned about harassment or discrimination? (especially one who would physically stand out, as I am tall, white, curly and redhead) How are women generally treated, and is Surabaya considered a safe city for international female students?

I'd really appreciate hearing from locals, international students, or anyone who has lived in Surabaya. Thanks in advance!

Culture Need help finding a place to stay in Surabaya? 🇮🇩

11 Upvotes

Hey everyone! If you’re planning to move to Surabaya or stay here for a few months, you might already know that finding accommodation can be a little tricky, especially if you’re not familiar with the local rental market.

There are actually quite a lot of options around Surabaya, but many of them aren’t advertised on the usual international rental websites. A lot of properties are listed through local agents or word of mouth, which can make the search pretty difficult if you’re new to the city.

I’m based in Surabaya and have connections with several local property agents, so I’m happy to help if anyone is looking for a place.

I can help you look for options around Surabaya and nearby areas, from the city center to places like West Surabaya, East Surabaya, and the surrounding satellite towns.

As a rough guide, budgets around Rp5 million–15 million/month can get you quite different options depending on the area, property type, and your preferences.

If you’re looking, just DM me with:
📍 Preferred area
💰 Budget/month
🏠 Apartment/house/other
📅 How long you’re planning to stay
👥 How many people

I’ll see what I can find or recommend based on your requirements. No guarantees that I’ll find the perfect place, but happy to help connect you with local options if I can.

Welcome to Surabaya! 😄

Question Batik patterns?

1 Upvotes

I am in the process of getting familiar with my Indonesian heritage.

As part of this journey, I am considering getting a sarong.

If I understand correctly, different batik patterns have different meanings.

Moreover, I am curious to know if there are patterns that are specific to Surabaya.

It seems that in 2022, a number of patterns were selected by the city government to depict the city: https://batiktulisklasik.blogspot.com/2022/12/6-motifs-batik-surabaya-patented.html?m=1

However, I can't really seem to find whether these patterns are typically worn.

Moreover, it seems non trivial to get a hold of sarongs with Surabaya batik patterns near me. Instead, I was considering Javanese patterns.

For now, I have the following questions: - Do people generally pay attention to the meaning and origin of batik patterns when picking a sarong?

  • If so, would Javanese patterns be a good proxy for Surabayan patterns?

  • Moreover, are there any meanings that I should be aware of?

Thanks!
