Whats the Hottest Club in Surabaya?

Ice Club.

The Ice Room at Ice Club. Note the Eiffel tower on the back left and I think the leaning tower of Pisa at the right front.

Last Friday some of the teachers from the school took David and I for a night on the town.

The night started out very Indonesian like. With a late pick up time of 2 hours after they initially said that they were going to be there.... I am not complaining, I was enjoying my Bintang on the patio of our place, but just merely pointing out that there is definitely a difference here when it comes to punctuality. I think the best thing to do is just let it slide.

Lenmarc. The mall of emptyness.

Anyways we went to this mall. "Lenmarc". Its supposed to be or WAS supposed to be one of the most luxurious or high end malls in the city. However something happened with the construction and it got delayed so a lot of the stores ended up negating on their contracts I think, from what I have gathered from teachers telling me. Anyways, this has left the mall with a very empty feeling. There are only a few stores in the entire huge mall that are open. Mostly furniture stores and a few random accessory stores. There are restaurants, of course and "Surabaya's hottest place for nightlife", Ice Club.

Why is it called "Ice Club" if it is so hot. Well, its because they have a giant freezer in the back that they have put ice sculptures in. And white couches and chairs. But I mostly think its because of the ice that its called Ice Club.

We went out to dinner first at this nifty place where you pre-pay at a central cash and then go around with your little card and order things from the different places. Kind of feels like you are at a fancy food court. I like the card idea thing though. Especially if you want to order from multiple places.

At ice club, the cover is ridiculous and so are the prices. More exspensive than Vicrtoria. 100,000 Rp cover. So thats about 11$ CAD and drink stared around 60,000 Rp for a beer. Nearly 7$ CAD. A bit ridiculous for Indonesia, but you are paying (literally because I am sure it costs a lot to keep that place cool) for the atmosphere. The DJ was sweet though.... kind of. But the cover band was sweeter. They had 3 singers, 1 guitat, 1 bass, 1 key board and 1 drummer. And they did top 40 tunes. I think my favorite might have been the Katie Perry Cover of ET that they did. Or maybe when they did Riannah ft. Eminem "Love the Way You Lie", and there was this Indonesian dude rapping and sounding pretty close to Eminem himself. That was awesome.
