... mies- ja naisdormit).. <br><br>Seuraavana paivana kaytiin tutustumassa "Royal Regalia" halliin jossa esilla mm. Muiden valtioiden paamiesten ja erinaisten delegaatioiden lahjoittamia lahjoja sulttaanille. Kultaiset tikarit ja erillaiset moskeijoiden miniatyyrit vaikuttivat olevan kovassa huudossa. Haloselta ei ole viela ilmeisesti tippunut mitaan mutta kultaiset poronsarvet voisivat lunastaa paikkansa.. Kaupungin keskustaa hallitsevaa "Omar ...

... just screams look at my red leg with its nice medicinal gold tinge. My voodoo ointment stains everything the color of an egg yolk but whatever is in it honestly does have some healing effect.<br><br>Yes, I did make it across to the water village though dripping wet. There was no way in hell I wasn't going at this point and I pulled myself up into the boat and took my seat with what little dignity I had left. Do you think I am going to wallow in putrid water ...

... had been told was true, there really was nothing to do. There's a great big mosque in the centre of town, and then the Sultans Palace, but thats about it. The mosque is pretty cool though, the floor and walls made from Italian Marble, the stained glass windows were cafted in the UK, and the carpets were flown in from Saudi Arabia. Tasteful!<br><br>Brunei is one of those random places that everyone's heard of (the sultan was the richest man in the world for a long time ...

... the country. People are perhaps a bit less friendly then in Malaysia, but helpful. Brunei does not get many tourists and find out details like bus or ferry time table is almost impossible. Tourist information centre is nonexistent, papers claim wrong information, so the only source is the locals, who may also provide contradictory details.<br>Brunei was an interesting detour on the way to Sabah province of Malaysia.

... against using the services of the rottweiler as we were too scared to approach her for travel information and we couldn&#8217;t understand what she said anyway due to the fact that she snarled with a rather strong accent through gritted teeth. Instead we booked a five day excursion, including three days of trekking, to the Gunung Mulu National Park through an adventure tour company in the town and arranged to be collected early the next morning. That ...

... taxi seem oblivious to the inherent dangers of driving at such speeds in confined water ways with no obvious rights of way. I think our driver could see round bends - no trace of reserve or hesitation! 45 minutes later and we arrive somewhere up country. No-one told us where we were to get off, the name of the town, but simply ask for Melissa when we get to wherever it is. And there she was, our guide, Melissa. Her English was Ok, but there were significant gaps in her knowledge ...

... I would have finished it differently. Maybe render instead of gold. Something daft like 2000 odd rooms means he's plenty of room to entertain. We would have popped in but he was being chased by red-shirted people in Pattaya at the time. One thing we did do here was eat. Whether it was to contain the lack of booze (joke) or worms, it seemed all we did was scoff. A lot. Hawker food, pizza, Indians ...

... around Singapore and the surrounding area. We talk about New Zealand and they beam with enthusiasm and tell me their Top 5, no 10, wait 100, ahh it's all great. The flight to Auckland is to take 10 hours and is another night flight landing at 10:10 local. Unfortunately because the flight is jam packed there is no real hope of me getting anything close to a decent amount of sleep, both quantity and quality have been unenthusiastically thrown to the wind with no hope and even less care!

... presque sur la piste a les attendres. Une camionnette vient nous chercher, pour faire 1km pour l'entree du parc. On aurait pu le marcher surtout qu'il etait tout rouiller et tombait presque en morceau. Nous avons couche dans un dortoir de 12 personnes pour notre sejour. Quelquefois moin de monde. Nous avons decider de passer a l'action tout de suite. Nous avons visiter le Dear cave. La plus grande chambre au monde, 125 metres de haut par 100 m de large. Gigantesque ...

... the panaga club today... its a kind of exclusive sports/social club only for Shell workers or subcontractors. I was pleasantly surprised... this place has a huge golf course, tennis courts, gym, pool, yoga, restaurants.. and team sports too.... finally something that may relieve me of my weeknight boredom... and theres quite a few european/american/indian/allsorts of a ...
