Today we landed back in Miri after a two day trip to Gunung Mulu National park, and it was worth every mosquito bite. We walked to some fantastic caves with a highly knowledgeable guide called Syria. To get to one of the caves you have to take a boat down river which is utterly thrilling. We watched millions of bats stream out of one of the caves, at dusk. We also watched one unfortunate bat become the victim of a fortunate and hungry bat hawk. There is another walk you can do called the 'can...

We got to Brunei at about midnight. Collected our bags and got a taxi.
Just driving through Brunei, we noticed a huge difference from Bangkok.
The driver could speak pretty good English, for one. And also there was nobody about. It was completely dead. I think there may have been one other car on the motorway into the city.
We got to our hotel, and took an immediate dislike to it. It was more expensive and more disgusting than anywhere we had stayed so far. The smell hit you as soon...

As I went thru security I was like ooo people!! and started to have a chat to them which I think they took as trying to distract them and they then proceeded to do a "random" full search off my bags ect.. I thought it was funny cuz it was 2am I was the only person going thru security and th...

Yesterday it rained most of the day and I ended up just walking around a bit and not doing much at all. In the evening I went to my trusty cafe and order this drink with a picture of this spikey fruit. Durian fruit I think. My god was it bad I tryed to drink it but couldn't manage more than 3 sips... The owner here is lovely (de royalle cafe) and hangs around chatting to customers and I told him I didn't like my drink so he told his staff to make me an avocardo milkshake which was nicer than ...

... in one piece, though we were knotted up like pretzels after sitting on board that cramped plane for two and half hours. So back to Borneo but this time it's a totally different flavor. Brunei is hardcore Islam and makes Malaysia look like the no calorie dietetic version. While I was waiting for my buddy to get some cash at the ATM in the airport, I wandered over to a touchscreen kiosk and started playing with it. This machine looks like an airline checkin ...

... but we didn’t get much chance to take in the scenery as we had to watch where we trod every step of the way as the path led us over gnarly tree roots and slippery moss-covered rocks. Our guide hardly spoke to us for the entire trek and seemed simply intent on getting us from A to B as quickly as he possibly could. He was evidently enjoying the whole adventure as much as we were. Therefore, yet again, we didn’t see any wildlife except for the ...

... And that meant reaching the resort before sun down, which was virtually impossible already. So we quickly dipped into the sea to wash off the mud, put our cloth back on and started to trek back. We had walked a few kilometers to get to that beach, and by the time we were half way back it was pitch-black around us.
Luckily we remembered to bring our torch (something had told me that we would get ourselves in a situation like that again). However, this ...
Salut tout le monde, Nous allons bien. Nous avons vue la ville en marchant 2 heures (un peu plus peut-etre). C'est tres petit ici pour une capital. C'est vrai que le pays est pas tres grand aussi. Nous avons commencer par prendre le bus (he oui, encore) pour se rendre a l'hotel Empire. Le cout fut de 1.1 milliard. Nous avons bien regarder partout, pour s'assurrer que l'argent avait bien ete depenser. Effectivement ...

... Seri Begawan has a population of only about 27,000 which still makes is the largest city in the country.) The Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque is stunning however, particularly at night. I also took a water taxi around the water village, which is in the river just across from the main city, which was fascinating.

... that they proliferated in, My God would hear me just the same in a temple, mosque, church or synagogue. And if I was wrong, maybe Allah would be merciful to a nonbeliever praying to another god in his house. I WANT TO BELIEVE. Mulder...? The trip here made the stopover in Brunei worthwhile just on it's own merits. So if you are in the area and would like to experience a moment of utter peace (without the need for opium) you should come to visit the new mosque in Bandar Seri Begawan.
