The Music of Palu
Palu City is the capital province of Central Sulawesi. As the province’s capital, Palu offers a gateway to all the wonders of central Sulawesi. It sits on a long narrow bay. The weather is generally humid because it has been protected from the mountain ridges.
The City that once the center of progress and prosperity, Palu City was shook by a huge earthquake and a tsunami that destroyed some part of the city. Despite the natural disasters that happened, Palu people remained resilient and kept their faith strong. They are working hand in hand like a family to rebuilt the city that once known in the Central Sulawesi.
Arrival at Palu City
After a long sleepless flight, and a total of four transit flights from Davao City. Philippines to Palu City, Indonesia, on August 17, 2019 around 11:20 in the morning we have finally arrived in the city. The weather is indeed warmer compared to the Philippines. But the thing that I noticed the most is that the people in this city is really welcoming and hospitable. The weather may have shaped the personalities of the people who live in Palu City. We felt the warmest welcome by the UNISMUH Palu students and the coordinator of the university.
The hospitality and warm welcome of the people who waited for our arrival stripped away all the tiring experiences during the trip. They have welcomed us with their big smiles. A ‘welcome’ banner signifies their friendship and hospitality. In an instant it felt like I’m home and being part of the family.
Since it was lunch time when we arrived, we indulged the taste of Indonesian Cuisine. The food was mostly spicy and full of flavors. We enjoyed our first Indonesian lunch. Heart was filled with their hospitality and stomach filled with food and joy.
“If there is someone who ever touched the core of your heart, those who come after touches possibility.”
