The driver, a local with a wealth of knowledge about the area, shared stories of Pekanbaru’s rich history and vibrant culture as we made our way through the city.

The vehicle was a spacious sedan, offering a comfortable retreat from the outside world. As we drove, I couldn’t help but admire the lush greenery and the rhythmic dance of palm trees swaying in the breeze. It was a moment of reflection, a reminder of the beauty that lies in the journey itself, not just the destination.
