Tay Kak Sie Temple – Semarang

I grown up in the small city in Central Java, Kudus. Around 1.5 hours from Kudus is the capital of Central Java Province, Semarang. Semarang is an old city, rich of cultures and history. One of historical building that can be found in Gang Lombok, is a Chinese's temple, Tay Kak Sie. Following pictures taken at July 2009 (Yes, I tried to clear my backlog).
First, I never drive in Semarang (although quite near from my city), and soon I arrived in Semarang, I lost. After view stops to asks for direction, I finally reach Gang Lombok and found the temple. Not that big as I thought...

So, I stop, and take some rest from 2 hours+ of motorcycling. There is a foodcourt beside the temple's complex. I take my time, and order for swike soup. For your info, swike is made from frog's meat... and it's very delicious (one of my favorite, to be precise... I missed Jepara's swike). Then here I come, the real excitements... take pictures.

After that, I go to GPIB Immanuel (Gereja Blenduk) and Old Town area...
