Jubilee Hotel Bandar Seri Begawan

... I told him we could ride together but only after reviewing the boarding process. He repeated back to me (twice no less) the three golden rules to boat travel: 1. Step quickly to the center of the boat and only the center. Center means middle. 2. Sit down quickly and do not stand on one side. 3. Lean forward to put the center of gravity in the middle so as not to rock and capsize the vessel while others are trying to enter. Against my better judgment I signed him ...

... here was we met 'Danny'' a bald headed, Hawain shirt wearing guy mentioned by 2006's Lonely Liar (we know this because he carried around a lamenated copy of the page that Dan was lucky enough to hold). This apparently makes him a minor Brunei celebrity who hangs around the bus station hoping to point bewildered tourists in the right direction. Not really sure why, except he definitely gets off ...

Clean like you would imagine it to be. Built up reasonably too. But strangely it didn't feel like a massively rich country with a population of only 350,000, a fair bit of land, oil and money and the seventh richest man in the world in charge - the Sultan of Brunei.<br><br>One ...

... was a big favour from them. After a while I realized though that it wasn't as pure act as it initially looked like. My queerbait appearance did its part and a feel of driver's hand on my leg indicated guys' real intentions. Even though they were turned down they drove me to the park entrance. It's not heavily visited place, so you have the jungle basically for yourself. Niah is famous for its cave, one of the ...

... to sit and nothing to do all day but swat away the bees. At one point, Tracey accidentally trod on a bee with her bare foot and ended up with a very painful sting on her big toe. Oh how we laughed! Thankfully the boredom was alleviated by a lunch of plain white rice and boiled cabbage and a dinner of boiled cabbage and plain white rice. Luckily, we had managed to beg some dry old biscuits off someone, which rounded the meal off nicely. That evening ...

... Spotting the clearing from inside the jungle and then walking out onto a deserted beach left us awestruck. So this was one of the beaches where a bunch of castaways was dropped to survive in the wild for 39 days. I haven't actually seen that particular season of Survivor yet, but having grown quite fond of the show, I felt a little special for being at one of its locations. Instead of dwelling in childlike-pride however, we had to set our priorities ...

... don't think that I should eat anything whilst I am here, the airline has been feeding me at regular intervals so I don't feel hungry I am just bored, even with the films that I loaded onto my iPod! Its not really the films that I am sick of its having the tiny screen two feet away from my face of course I am talking about the headrest screen on the plane. I think in the past twelve hours I have lost my depth perception. I need to focus on objects 20 miles away for a period of eighteen hours ...

... Simple et magnifique avec des domes dores en mosaique. Retournant sur le quai nous avons passer par le village flottant. Les passerelles en bois, (les planches de bois, etaient ajouree pas mal). On trouve que le Sultan a du tout depense sur son hotel et palais surement. Tres anacronique ses taudis ici. La faim nous envahissant nous avons obter pour une pizza, (tanne des nouilles et riz) delicieuse apprecier. Un ...

... take a look at this natty Wiki-Pedia Entry... Bandar Seri Begawan is the capital city, and that is exactly where Kate is at the moment. Passport control was pretty good. Busy, noisy, crowded and somewhat on the nose. But 30 mins was all it took, and she was off to the budget hotel booked for the evening. Luckily the budget motel provided a shuttle bus, cause navigating the streets of ...
