by kokoryko There are no real road maps in Brunei, and the tourist map are totally inaccurate; I met people who did not find what they were looking for and went short of petrol…..The map of the ministry of tourism, for instance locates the Waisai Wong Kadir waterfalls north of Labi, they are in fact 8km south of Labi ; I could check that, but there are probably other inaccuraties; make sure you have petrol in your car when you go, and drive around before reaching what you wanted to reach. editor of the maps : http://www.tourismbrunei.com/#

Traffic . Be aware, driving here is on the left side of the road and local drivers are not supposed to know you first look at left when you walk across a street! Be aware!

by Rice_Paper Because this is a Muslim country, one must be careful or what they do or say. Along with alcohol, you will not find pork (yes, the other white meat) anywhere in the menu in Brunei. Yes, everything is pretty strict around here. Leave a Comment

by Rice_Paper Not much of a 'DANGER' post, but there is NO ALCOHOL in Brunei. In 1990, a law prohibiting the sale of alcohol was passed. So, if you wanna party, I suggest you take a trip to Miri (see picture; Sarawak, East Malaysia) from Kuala Belait. It takes approximately 2 hours to drive down or you can bus down. Will add more info on Miri soon. :) Leave a Comment

If you like to have a drink or two, please remember that Brunei is an alcohol free country. It is OK to bring alcohol into the country, but you cannot buy it once you are there.

Plenty of currupt police. Our house got brokrn into, and some fingerprints were left on the windowsill in the dust. We pointed this out to the police and they did not know what to do with them. It probably was an inside job as we were on a british ex - pat camp and they keep a list of people who are on holiday. Our next door neighbours who happened to have the same sur name were, and we rekon they got the wrong house!!! The south china sea is full of all sorts of nasty things from snakes to jelly fish to salt water crocs. Bathe at your own risk. Me and friends used to surf in it a lot, and only got stung a few times - nothing serious. But heard stories of young children being killed by jelly fish! Watch out for snakes. Leave a Comment

by pjallittle Don't you dare say anything contrary about the King, Sultan, whatever, just don't do it. Other than the usual common sense considerations, this is a very nice and seemingly prosperous country. No beggars that you sometimes see elsewhere, not here.And do stay out of this house

Dont expect to get taxi easily here except for at the airport or hotel. If you are going somewhere with a taxi please remember to figure out how u will get back. Stopping a taxi along the road pretty much wont happen. So u either get taxi number, arrange hotel shuttle service, rent your own car or get the bus route ready before hand. Leave a Comment
