Back from Brunei

Image from giftrap.com, no pics from me.

I was in Brunei for a business trip. It was a one and the half day trip, so lets sum up:-
  • I stayed in Palm Garden hotel. Nice hotel and just beside it is Fitness Zone. Its equivalent to Fitness First here and its 3 storey tall. No time to try it out...
  • Brunei is not what I expected it to be. I thought as a oil-rich country, everything would be modern. Airport suxs, the surrounding area is like Kuala Terengganu. At least their highway is toll free.
  • Food is lousy but cheap. I had a small buffet for BND 8.
  • DVD is exceptionally cheap here. Only BND 2 and damn clear.
  • The most "sakit hati" part is their cars. Cars are dirt cheap here. Vios goes for BND 19,000 and a BMW 5 series is BND 60,000. They drive all kindda cars, Lexus, Toyota, Honda, Daihatsu and etc. I did see few Protons going around. Losers...
  • Imagine government officers in Brunei driving BMW Z3, Lexus, Mitsubishi and Cefiro. Anyone doing that in Msia is asking for an appointment with ACA.
  • Petrol is so cheap here that the Brunei ppl we asked didn't even know the price. Murah bah...
  • During fasting month, the government office here close at 2 PM, but most of them leave at 12.30 pm. Unbelievable.
  • Crime rate is low. People are not afraid of leaving their laptops in the car. In KL, within 5 minutes, its gone.
  • Chicks... hmm.. subjective... KL got better selections.

Nothing much in Brunei except the dome of their national mosque is made in gold!
