What's the timezone history of Surabaya?
Surabaya sits near the eastern edge of Western Indonesia Time, so although it keeps the same clock as Jakarta nearly 700 kilometres west, the short hop east to Bali crosses into the central zone and steps the hour forward. At around 113 degrees east the city lies well east of the zone's reference meridian, leaving solar noon close to half an hour ahead of the civil clock, so the sun runs ahead of the wall clock here rather than behind it.
What are the working hours in Surabaya?
The port, shipbuilding, and heavy manufacturing give Surabaya a more industrial, blue-collar rhythm than the office economy of the capital. Hours run broadly 08:00 to 17:00, with the Friday prayers between roughly 12:00 and 13:30 accommodated across most workplaces and the midday break lengthened that day. The equatorial heat pushes activity toward the early morning and the evening. During Ramadan the working day commonly shortens, and the days around Eid al-Fitr empty the city as workers return to home villages in the mass exodus known as mudik.
Where is Surabaya?
Surabaya is the second-largest city in Indonesia and the capital of East Java, a major port at the mouth of the Mas River on the strait separating Java from the island of Madura. The metropolitan area holds around 9 million people. It anchors the industrial and shipping economy of eastern Java, less internationally known than Jakarta but the commercial hinge of the country's populous eastern provinces and a celebrated centre of the independence struggle.
