I fly out to London tonight.
Here are a few pictures which capture some of the impressions that I have of Brunei. It is not really a tourist destination, however it is interesting and quite unique. The people have been incredibly friendly; genuine smiles and waves from perfect strangers. And I have actually seen the Sultan of Brunei. I'm pretty stoked about that.

A typical shopping precinct. |

Malay is the main language spoken in Brunei, but signage is often in Malay or Jawi, an Arabic script.
I think this sign wishes you a safe journey. |

This is the view from upstairs. An Iroquois helicopter has landed in the field; it comes from a nearby British army base. |
That's really interesting.
ReplyDeleteThe pictures are really beautiful.
It's very different to what we Kiwi's in New Zealand do.
Have Fun travelling to London!!!!!!
