IMPORTANT: Surabaya Hostel Information

As promised, I posted the hostel address and parts of my last e-mail below!

Anyway, below is the address of the hostel we are staying at for orientation:

Jalan Duku II/190 Pondok Tjandra Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia

Show your taxi driver this at the airport and he will drive you there. Some tips on traveling:

Last year, I hired a taxi from the official taxi rental place for a fixed price of 70000 RP (about $8US). If you are going to get a taxi from the taxi circle, choose one that looks legit (i.e. Blue Bird taxis). These will charge based on a ticker. As a warning, sketchy people will accost you and try to get you to their service. If you and another volunteer get in at around the same time, you could split the cost of a taxi and get in together.
