My Brunei adventure
... Raoul turned up in his boat under cutting the other guy down to $20 for the whole trip. At first I haggled him down to $15 but after what happened next I gave him the $20 he had asked for.
So on my own I stepped into the boat and we set off along the river towards the palace and away from the rivers mouth off to the northeast. We turned into a narrow passage between the stilted houses all crammed together and Raoul talked about various buildings and their functions as ...
First of two stops home
... so I have only paid $20 for my 2 nights here and so far I have a 4 bed male dorm to myself.

Dabei hatte sich unser Kapitän gerade noch einen Bonus für jeden von ihm gefundenen Affen zusichern lassen. Auf der Rückfahrt gaben uns dann ein paar lokale Fischer doch noch den entscheidenden Hinweis. Zum ...
Kampong Ayer (The Floating Village)
... tour, I thought he did a pretty job of taking me around the area and doing what he was paid to do.
Since the Kampong Ayer is literally a community on the water, in order for people to get around, the structures are connected via a network of bridges.
