Iban tourist trap The Iban were formerly head hunters, and they are still hunters. Here is a photograph of a lace trap on the side of a small forest trail (the second picture is an enlargment).; so unattentive tourist can be trapped there; certainly somebody will come but; . . . for delivering? Hahaha.

Spending maybe 3-4 days may be plentiful in Brunei. If you're not interested in exploring the jungle, caves, and etc..then you might get a bit bored. There are trips you can take from Brunei to Sarawak, Malaysia. A nice place to visit is Kuching...south of Brunei. Will add more soon. Thanks for being so patient. :) Leave a Comment

by Rice_Paper Do not miss some of the dishes sold by some of the hawkers around the city. In Kuala Belait, there once was this area built for hawkers (not sure if it's still there anymore) where you can get the yummiest dishes. If your stomach can handle the spices, give 'Nasi Lemak' a whirl (see left pic). Or try 'Rojak' which is a concoction with squid, cucumber, pineapple, turnip, beansprouts, and mixed with balachan sauce. It's an acquired paste but it's quite good. Leave a Comment

by Rice_Paper The tranquil site of the Temburong's Peradayan Rainforest is gorgeous. The sounds of the waterfalls, the birds...it's just a nice getaway from the city. It is about 15 kilometers from Bangar on the road to Labu. A visit to the park can include a 1.6 km forest trail that winds up and down a mountain side to the peak. The full trek requires about 2 hours. Leave a Comment

by o00o < River Cruise > A one and a half hour cruise on the Brunei river at sunset affords the traveller a glimpse of Brunei Darussalam's culture and history. The river trips starts at the Bandar Marine Department at 6:30 in the evening when the Tanjung Bakarang lifts anchor to sail into the sunset. The most striking landmark is the Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque, an edifice of classical Islamic architecture, with a golden dome. A colourful sights when it lit up at night on festival days is an elegant concrete boat that resembles a 16th century royal barge built in the middle of a lagoon and linked to the mosque. On the outside of the lagoon is the water village, the famous Kampong Ayer, home to the 30,000 people in huddled wooden houses raised on stilts. The centuries-old settlement includes schools and medical clinics and houses with modern amenities. Raised walkways meander between the packed houses where underneath zoom wooden boats with powerful engines. Leave a Comment
