A brief of Kampung Lawas, It is not very much well known for the locals, that the history of Surabaya from Mataram Kingdom to Dutch Colonial Era is wrapped up in one site, Bubutan village, City of Surabaya. It was proven that Surabaya has been well planned since the beginning. As stated by a Dutch explorer who made a stop in the early of 17th century, Artus Gijsels, Surabaya was called "Amsterdam from the East". The "Kampung" alleys seems like a time tunnels to brings the visitors to the past. From an Era of the Vicegerent or Prime Minister of the Kingdom, with its stable, resided, to a back porch of Raden Soemomihardjo, an descendent of Surakarta Kingdom, known as "Ndoro Mantri" ( the nurse). There is also a building ex "Ongko Loro" school or village elementary school in Dutch Colonial Era. We can still see an old building ex bakery factory owned by Haji Iskak, which was a field kitchen during the historical war of Nov 10, 1945. Decorated in antique tile and unique details, the building has been a motel "Asri" since 1958. There were many more colonial buildings either with Dutch or eclectic architecture.
