Why TEFL Indonesia?
Chief among a number of reasons for prospective TEFL teachers to endeavor to come to Indonesia is the wish to tour and to intimately experience living and working in a completely different culture.
There are many areas of interest in the Surabaya region. Mt. Bromo is probably the most well-known of these. Here you can hike to the top of an active volcano, stand in deep, soft ash, and witness a dramatic tropical sunrise while you inhale the sulfur and watch the fire belching from the deep crater.
Both Surabaya and the neighboring city of Malang are big business centers and are, therefore, full of choices for entertainment. Nightclubs, cafes, restaurants, theatre and high end shopping areas are all there to be found on the busy streets of both cities.
Dining out is a national hobby in Indonesia. Locals will happily go all the way across town to eat at a small roadside kiosk that comes highly recommended. They will often feature just one or two options, and you will frequently discover the makings to be of the highest quality available.
The area around Surabaya has a profusion of fascinating sights, from volcanoes, scenic beaches, wildlife preserves and marine gardens, ancient temple sites and highland lakes.
Accessing other parts of Java is easy either by train or its well-maintained roads. Air service from Surabaya to other major cities is also readily available. Be sure not to miss the magnificence of Bali, only a 30 minute jaunt away. This renowned island can also be easily reached by car or bus and a short ferry ride.
If you would like to experience yet another culture, visit Madura, an island located in the province of East Java. This island, about 160 km. long, is famous for its bull races, where a jockey, often a young boy, is pulled on a wooden sled by a pair of bulls along a 100 m. course.
You can also take in splendid mountain vistas in the area around Mount Bromo with its crater and sea of sand and at Welirang, also known as "sulphur mountain".
You may choose to visit the remnants of the ancient Majapahit Empire at some remarkable temple sites and other recent archaeological digs. This kingdom flourished from the 14th to 16th centuries and was influenced by Hinduism, Buddhism and Islam. East Java’s principle role in contemporary history was that it was in the vanguard of Indonesia’s fight for independence from colonial rule around 1945.
