TOUR BRUNEI DARUSSALAM - 30NOV2013

Entrance to the Main Palace

Saturday 30Nov2013.

My second day in Brunei.

We had a great breakfast at the hotel.
Each of us,like a journalist updated our friends about yesterday. Facebook, Instagram and Whatsup. As usual, i just wanted to tease my friend in Malaysia and say Hi to them. For me, holidays with family is like a must thing to do every year without fail. Alsoas a break, away from home and office.

My countryman, Zainal took us for a ride within the city. When we were planning to visit Brunei two years ago, our list were to see The Jerudong Park, the mosque, the palace and Kampung Ayer (the water village).
After driving through the city to see old and new buildings one after another, we were at the front entrance to the Kampung Ayer.  We did not intend to take the boat to pass through the village, but instead , we drove past the village and went to the hill nearby by the river. We ended up parked the car and visited the Brunei Museum. That was our first point to get to know Brunei in details. 

One thing in common was both Zainal and my family went to the museum for the first time. It was divided into many areas, the oil discovery in Brunei, Islamic civilization in Brunei, animals and the green in Brunei as well as the story about the Kampung Ayer (Water Village). 

We took our family photo (left) behind the nice painting of the Water Village, Brunei at the foyer of the Brunei Museum. We had the chance to capture the actual Water Village which built with the infrastructure like mosque and school (see below).
