Malang Tempoe doeloe 1930 : Colonialism Era

Throwing back to Malang in 1930,

still rich with its colonialism building, 

the age when our land still in dutchmen hands.

The age where Karina & Vlahos live (read our novel 'De Komst' here first!)

happily in their lovely house in Idjen Boulevard area.

I got the pictures from 'Tropenmuseum' museum in netherland,

They got so many interesting collection, anyway!

And..nah, this is Idjen Boulevard.

The place where dutchmen and their family live...

(Including Vlahos & Karina too! And Heinrich & Pratiwi..)

 And this is.. shops from the view of 'Pasar Besar'

you can see 'Tio' shop in the right side, the shop still stand until right now :3
(you can find it beside Altara moslem shop)

they sell so many good vintage stuff just like jewelry, wayang, batik equipment, etc

 And this is 'Neutrale Lagere School' located in Jl.Dr.Soetomo 35 (now)

This school originally dedicated for Dutch kids, that's why it named 'Neutrale School Vereeniging' or 'Europase Lagere School'.

The school right now has been bought by the catholic missionary after burnt down by inlander between 1940-1950 and now stand as 'Kolese Santo Yusuf'

Neutrale Lagere School (Kolese Santo Yusuf *right now*)

This is the church beside 'Jami' mosque' 

you can still find it near alun-alun kota right now :3

Church

 And.. This is Kajoetangan Straat

It really hard to recognize it at first because this street totally looks so different!

Everything has changed.. and i have no idea which shop still stands right now...

well, umm maybe a shop in the left side of the photos... but still i doubt it :-/

Kayutangan street, Malang

 Ah, a Dawet seller in pasar besar! :D

The dutchmen must be really love the taste, huh?

(I think about it, actually. To put a scene where Vlahos and Karina walk around and bought so many local foods like Dawet *but i have no idea where to put this scene*)

This! Stasiun Kota Lama!

 And... church beside Mcdonald (right now)

i have no idea what's the name of the church until right now,

but you can still found it in the same place this day. Located near Alun-alun kota Malang :)

Looks so.. gloomy

This is military hospital,

Anyway, i could use this one for my novel :-)

military hospital

 Palace Hotel, still stand in the same place, located near Jami' mosque :D

 Anyway, i really wanted to go back to 1930,

seeing so many dutchmen in the street, people with kebaya,.. 

I know, basically as a 'real' Indonesian, we musn't think of this,

because we're the one who got really misery in this era.

But honestly,

i wanna be like Vlahos & Karina. For real :')

Ah, the main idea of love between two people from a different background,

Dutchmen & Inlander 

This.. is.. just... *faint*
