Trip to Surabaya: KOGI XIV

This time I go to Surabaya for exhibition at ObGyn Association Congress. The venue is at Shangri-la Hotel, same as my last exhibition venue during IKABI meeting.
Unfortunately, I didn't get a room in that hotel because I was late to book and every room was booked.

Thanks to my Business Support Coordinator, she managed to book a room at Bumi Surabaya Hotel. Located at Jl. Jend. Basuki Rahmad. My room is The Club Room type.
Rate per night is IDR 1,075,000. I get many privileges staying in this type of room.
The check-in was on 23rd floor on August 4, 2009. I get one time cloth pressing complimentary and there's free cocktail on 5-8 PM.
Breakfast is on 23rd floor, continental type. For more menu options, we can get breakfast on ground floor at Arumanis Restaurant.
I still prefer Shangri-la to Bumi Surabaya. At the same rate, I'd get better breakfast menu and newer building, plus free internet access in the room.

At Bumi Surabaya, they charge USD 15 for 24 hours internet connection. I connected to internet this morning at the business center. It cost IDR 62,000 for every 30 minutes.

Pekanbaru Trip, for exhibition

On May 5-8, 2009, I was in Pekanbaru for attending an exhibition at General Surgeon Conference. Pekanbaru is the capital city of Riau Province.
The venue was at Hotel Gran Labersa, while my hotel was quite far from the venue.
My distributor team stayed at Ibis Hotel. We scattered because the venue was full.

I bought dinner for the team on the last night in Pekanbaru. It was Padang restaurant but the main menu is spicy grilled fish. Yummy.... For six people, I only spent IDR 195,000 and we were full!
