Venice in Vrunei


Mosques here are very photogenic. I love their colour and roundness, plus the fact that their soundbite is quieter than it is in the UAE; a gentle reminder rather than an angry call – I know it is not actually an angry call in the UAE, but that is what I feel when I hear the call for prayer there - ‘Masjid Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien’. This one is not the prettiest I have seen, but I have not had the chance to do much drive-by shooting, because I’ve been practising my left-hand driving. Which means David has been the passenger, and a dream co-pilot too!

... and back to the top! Venice in Vrunei? Indeed! For 4$ you can go on a little boat tour on Brunei River. We have heard reports that this is fun, but have yet to experience it. What we did experience was our second sushi meal from the gorgeous Kaizen Sushi restaurant, from where we had this view:


Boats taking workers & school children across

Houses on stilts. For now it is only possible to get there by boat.
Sungai Kebun bridge in the background, which will connect Jalan Residency to Kampung Sungai Kebun
Stay afloat and be sure to come back for more!
