GRESIK / SURABAYA, INDONESIA

Inside Gresik not too much events, so when you take your shore pass get a taxi to take you to Surabaya. the taxi drivers doesnt like to run taximeter so u must insist, coz the fee is around 15 usd to surabaya but they request 20 usd. in surabaya have a couple of bars/night clubs which inside full of girls. i learned that they want 100 usd. but better u get to street that full of girls and massage places. in there it cost around 30 - 40 usd. if u like the real massage they also provide for u too. if you ask to taxi drivers they show you where it is. ;)

MORMUGAO / GOA, INDIA


Have a place for seamen Indus Seafarers' Welfare and Health Centre its told that have transportation and internet service open hours 0800 - 1800
if you can catch the season, the correct place to see and enjoy your time. Goa is a different place if you compare with other messy indian ports. thousands of European and Russian tourist visiting this city every year for joining Trance music beach parties. and of course sex and drugs ;) (i know i m horrible :)) even if u not lucky for catching party times, u can go to beach for drinking your beer, eating seafood and enjoying the ocean waves sight. it cost little expensive by taxi to drive there so u better share the taxi with your friends. also the boat service costs if you moored to dolphins.

RIZHAO, CHINA

this is a standard growing chinese port. if u came here for discharging bulk cargo, u have about 36 to 48 hours for cargo operation. so limitied time to go outside for entertainment.
the city is very big so u need taxi, the taxies inside the port have all relation with massage saloons. so they always want to take you to their place and never offer another place. in order to find different places you must tell them to take u to city center, and then take another taxi. if u ask the driver (if u can) he will bring you to many places with only taximeter price. the massage is mostly inside the hotels. first ask the price, if they dont know english (i never see actually) show with calculator. the girls price is between 250 to 350 yuan, if they offer high price immediately leave the place or try to make bargain. there are at least 10 places inside the city.
the most important thing is to tell taxi driver where you want to go. if you take name card of the place u enjoy, next time u can show the driver and will be easy to find.
Some sellers come to ship for selling electric and electronic devices. most of them give good price so u dont need to go outside for those items.
if u want to hangout and drink only, there are really nice bars and clubs at the center. taxi costs 6 RMB /yuan = 1 dollar per km
 there is the pink street and window shopping is free :)




KOPER, SLOVENIA

inside the port there is free shop but not so cheap. if you buy big amounts of items that you can not carry by yourself, they are bringing for you to the ship. the gangs working safe and professional so no problem exist during cargo operation. i really dont remember if they give u shore pass or no :(
also there is an internet dealer providing modem for you, working with his son.i remember must be around 10 usd. if i m not wrong :) some people went outside for meeting slovenian girls but as i hear their score is 0 :) as they told, they came to a bar full of chicks, but no interest of strangers. bar name: el pirata ;)
