The biggest danger here ,that we found, was getting lost.
The roads are not laid out in any familar fashion.
We never did figure out our way around town.
We bought the famous Shell map and still had probems.
This is the only country that we have traveled to that we could not find our way around. Leave a Comment

You do not see the locals wearing a life jacket. So if you are worried, go only on boats that have life jackets, wear them and request the boat to go slow.
It is a way of life but as a traveller, safety always come first. Your family is expecting you to get home soon.

However, when the sky suddenly darken with ominous clouds, be prepared for a sudden downpour that cool the hot ground. But if you are caught in the open without an umbrella, you need to scamper for shelter.
It can sometimes rain cats and dogs. But sudden heavy rain comes quickly and goes off quickly too. So just wait and enjoy the raindrops.

things that move are a danger compared to things that remain stationary ...

 Just outside BSB by Hewer
Accidents happen everywhere but they are certainly more common on roads like this. Be careful if you are planning to drive. Leave a Comment

 Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei by Hewer
"Hello, I am from Bangladesh. I graduated in chemical engineering. I also have extensive experience in electrical wiring and I am fluent, both written and spoken, in English, Bengali, Arabic..."
When he finished, I asked him if he had seen the Bangladesh Vs. Australia test cricket match. He blinked for a moment and then continued rattling off his qualifications, despite my assurances that I was a humble tourist. He only gave up when I entered the bus station. I guess most oil executives don't take the bus.
The same thing happened just a couple of hours later when I was approached by a gentleman from Qatar and then early in the evening when a Filipino fellow tried the same trick (if any of the of the three of you are reading this, I would have given the job to the Bangladeshi applicant).
It's not threatening in any way but it is a hassle. If all else fails, head for the nearest bus stop! Leave a Comment

 our durian by call_me_rhia
Beware... durians are very smelly, so it's necessary to eat your durian at the market as in most places (and all hotels) you are not allowed to keep them.
The taste is like nothing you've ever tasted before... very delicate and yet it stays in your mouth for hours. I must have it again... Leave a Comment
