Semarang, Indonesia

Small town became the capital of Central Java province, a place where I was born. Small town with a lot of history in the past. Now, the city grew into a beautiful and fertile. The town is inhabited by around 200,000 inhabitants lives, have great potential really is. Strategic position on the north coast of Java island, making the city of Semarang has grown rapidly.

Has many areas that are not less unique to other cities in Indonesia. Cultured and well-mannered refined Javanese, religious diversity made ​​the city into peace.





The most prestigious icon of the city's "Lawang Sewu". Building where 70 years ago became the center of the Dutch royal government, in Indonesia, which invaded the city of Semarang. History says, the building was used as the office of the railway company at that time. Building that was once visited by Queen of the Netherlands at that time, has 1000 doors in it. This building in the occupied Netherlands during the 10 period and was taken over by the Japanese in 1942. Once held by Japan this building turned into a horrible place, as a shelter against the people against the Japanese. The people who were exiled to the next Sewu Lawang in jail, tortured, beheaded, left to rot to death.

Place a silent witness to the suicide Dutch Queen who supposedly said he jumped from the roof and fell three floors. At first, he fell in love with one of the youth in Semarang, but because of the kingdom being jilted. Finally, he committed suicide.

Many people say this myth about "Lawang Sewu", which he said a lot of ghosts and demons. Confidence people have so much evidence, for example the underground passage in "Lawang Sewu" that used to be a place of torture and the dungeon. Imprisonment in the dungeon is different from the prison in general. Prison is just a 2 meter and enough for the stand, people who left to die in prison by the state and the bound iron stand. How cruel the Japanese at that time.

After a long time this building was abandoned, many of the apparitions that appear in the reality show 'the Other'. Many ghosts haunt and horrible there. If you as a tourist wants to prove, just come straight to Lawang Sewu in Semarang, Central Java.
