Brunei is not as huge as any other countries I used to visit. It is a simple city and it is very, very clean. Even the river in the city was free from rubbish i.e not a single rubbish seen though there is a market on the riverbank. It was not difficult to navigate this city but walking in the scorching heat, strong sun and considerably high humidity (being on the equator), it got us all sweaty and a little uncomfortable. But we managed to complete our fasting of the day. Alhamdulillah.
Brunei is a small but well-known to the world for their King is among the richest in the world. The main produce of Brunei is petroleum and with the size of the country, the citizens of Brunei live in prosperous life, most of them, if not all. And I believe the government of Brunei did a very good job in running the country.
It seems that there are many immigrants in Brunei. In the local buses, 95% is occupied by immigrants, most probably from Philippines, Indonesia and Bangladesh. I guess Bruneians do not need to travel by public transports when they manage to buy their own cars.
When visiting Brunei, it is worth to visit the mosques and several other attractions such as the Water Village, Royal Regalia and of course, take a peek on the Nurul Iman palace from the outside.
Here are several pictures from my trip to Bandar Sri Begawan.
