Riau, Bumi Lancang Kuning (The Miracle Land of Indonesian Malay)

Lancang Kuning



Wah,,

Tak berasa, sebentar lagi saya akan balek ke "my home" rumahku di Pekanbaru, Riau..

Btw,, saat ini nama Riau ataupun Pekanbaru tidak lagi asing di telinga masyarakat, bahkan dunia sekalipun.... yaa ini juga tak lepas daripada prestasi dan promosi gemilang dari daerah tersebut. Mulai dari skala nasional hingga internasional.

Sebagai nak melayu Riau, saya ingin paparkan sedikit tentang daerah saya Riau, secara umum. Tapi dalam Bahasa Inggris,, campur-campur dikit tak apa-apalah yaaa,.. :)
