 Trail by kyoub A rare and interesting place, it features a freshwater swamp. During rainy periods it fills up like a lake, and in drier spells the waters recede and the valley becomes covered with sedges. There are shelters, footpaths and a 200metre wooden walkway which spans most of the lake. Leave a Comment

 Park by kyoub Bukit Shahbandar Forest Par k is a very popular picnic spot. There are walking trails and the main trail leads to Triangle Point, a hill with views across the sea and coastline. An information booth at the entrance has a phamplet showing the trails. We saw a few birds here, not many because it was very crowded the day that we were there. Leave a Comment

 Mulu Caves, Sarawak, Malaysia by SLLiew If you are staying in Brunei for awhile and trying to find another place to chill out... Would suggest going to a local travel agent and arrange for a weekend trip to 1) Miri Town Tour in Sarawak, Malaysia 2) Mulu Caves which is a UNESCO Natural Heritage Site, also in Sarawak, Malaysia Both sites are closer to Brunei than other parts of Malaysia. So when in Brunei, you might want to take advantage of the close proximity.

A lot of People who live in Brunei (Bruneian and Expats) like to spend their nights in Outskirt of Brunei - Kuala Lurah. It is the border of Limbang - Sarawak which is just 30mins drive from Bandar Seri Begawan. If you are staying at the Empire, it is about 15mins drive. You will find a lot of hawker stores there selling food and alcoholic drinks at cheap price. if you prefer chinese food, you can ask people around to show u the way to one of a corner where all the chinese hawker stores is. the BBQ Lamb and Fried CHicken wing are really good. You can find BBQ StingRays and other seafood there too. Can Beer like Tiger, Carlsberg, Heneiken is only B$2 (USD 1.2) there. You can bring it back to Brunei but each person is limited to either 2 Bottles of 1 Litre Wine or 12 cans of Beer. They open from morning til 10pm.

 Clock along Jalan Sultan, Bandar Seri Begawan by victorwkf, 1 more photos If you are walking along Jalan Sultan road from the Royal Regalia Museum towards the waterfront area or vice versa, you will see an interesting clock along the road (see photos). I was told there was once when someone in the Brunei government actually torn down the clock. When the Sultan found this out, he was very angry and instructed for the clock to be put up again in it's original place :) Leave a Comment

 Jerudong Park by BorneoGrrl Jerudong Park is a world class amusement park build in the early 1990s for the people of Brunei. The park is located in the Jerudong area, about 30 min from BSB and is a favorite amongst the locals & foreigners from nearby Malaysia. At first, it cost nothing (FREE!) to get in and play. Nowadays, you have to pay to go on the rides in the park but it is still lots of fun, especially the pirate ship, bumper cars, rollercoaster & free fall. Last time I was there I had to pay for almost all the rides individually. Concerts were also held here; I went to a Michael Jackson concert here once. When you are feeling hungry, there are stalls selling fast food nearby but do eat after the exciting rides.
