Time zone in Pekanbaru is : GMT+07:00
The once sleepy river port on sungai Siak, has transformed into one of Indonesia’s oil capitals, with all the hustle and bustle of a modern city. Long before today\'s affordable air travel, it served as a transit point for tourists between ferries from Singapore. Following the Americans striking oil back in the 1930\'s, Pekanbaru\'s economy was heavily dependent on oil revenues and now its not uncommon to have a conversation with a Western oil executive, on a business trip when visiting.
Time zone in Tana Toraja is : GMT+08:00
Toraja can only be simply described as a unique destination. A small island steeped in ancient culture, mysticism and beautiful nature, it appeals to culture vultures and even the adventurous. Hemmed in by mountains on all sides, the landscape is challenging enough for seasoned hikers, while cave graves, hanging graves, tau tau (life-sized wooden effigies) will keep cultural explorers busy. Between July and August, the small villages are a buzz of activity as it funeral season. Death is not considered as a sad event but as a time to celebrate, with elaborate festivities. The squimish may want to pass as the celebration includes buffalo slaughter.
