vangoWe learn more about the places we visit as I process the photos and write about our adventures. Sometimes I find out a lot about some interesting aspect. Sometimes It is difficult to figure out what we saw. Here is a good example. This is Cak and Ning Surabaya. They are Youth Ambassadors for the city of Surabaya. As translated they are called "ambassadors sons and daughters of travel in Indonesia"
I haven't been able to find out a lot. What I have learned is that a boy and a girl are selected each year for this post. As of yet, I don't know how. They are required to be from the city, be between 16 and 19 years old and have good English skills. Towns all over the country have their own Ambassadors who have similar names.
The young couple above greeted us at the Surabaya City Hall where the men on our tour received a hat and the women were given a scarf.
There is not much written about the hows and whys of the office but they spend the year standing around in native costumes greeting tourists. We saw a pair in Probolinggo as well but I didn't get a photo of that couple. I don't think it was the same pair.
My favorite of the names is "Yak" and "Yuk."
