Pekanbaru

Rumbai is a small town and a head quarter of Chevron Oil Corporation where its employees work and live in harmony for the last forty years. It is located in Pekanbaru, the capital city of Riau Province, is roughly a half hour driving away from Pekanbaru. Since Pekanbaru is developing into a crowded business city, Rumbai becomes one of the quietest towns that people would like to find. It doesn’t mean that there are few people around there, but the town was planned and designed so well that it can organize all kinds of human activities without causing things like traffic jam, pollution, crime and such. So no matter how big an event could be held in Rumbai, there’s very little chance for a traffic jam to happen. When you enter the town, you feel like entering into a different country because it is so different from Pekanbaru. It is surprisingly very clean and well organized. I call it Little America.

Rumbai is also a camp that sticks on conservation practices so it protects the wilderness. It is surrounded by wild forests, and has houses on small hills. Every dozens of houses were placed separated by large forest. Some complexes are placed circling the golf courses. One can not cut any tree without securing first the approval of Chevron Top Manager in town. It is not that surprising if we may spot some group of monkeys having a party nearby the houses, or even a snake crossing the road in the middle of the day!

Rumbai has complete facility like any other big Corporation Camps. It has a playgroup, kindergarten, elementary school, junior high school, and senior high school. It also supplies basketball courts, tennis courts, a library, a swimming pool, and a Recreation Club to hold all sorts of event in that town with many food corners. Basically you can find and do anything there, except shopping in a big mall. It is obvious because if they built a mall in there, the town will be crowded because it’ll attract public citizens from Pekanbaru. Rumbai does not actually have a public access, you must have a pass to enter its tight security. But public citizens can put their identification in the front gate in case they cause mishaps in the location. Still, they choose people who can leave their identification, if they’re too suspicious they won’t let them in. The security there is so tight that it can cause traffic jam in the front gate (the only traffic jam that can happen and it’s outside Rumbai).

So remember, next time you want to go to Rumbai, make sure you don’t look too suspicious as a stranger. And make you sure you spot those monkeys and try the hamburger corner in Rumbai Recreation Center! Who knows, you may cross path with the elephants as well.

Thanks for posting, you need to be focus on your target reader. Will discuss this matter in class.
