Brunei is a very exciting country with population around 400,000. There are two ( or maybe 3 ) real cities and here are what I found :D The people are extremely friendly and smiling , food is superb and it's very clean :banana:

I hope that if anybody has pics of Brunei towns ( especially from their trips ), please post them here :)

I was born in Kuala Belait, at the BSP Hospital. My late father was an employee of BSP. Never been back since coming back to Malaysia, though some of my family members have revisited the place and Seria where we lived. Thanks for the photos. Any photos of Seria?

^^ So are you a Malaysian or a Bruneite ? :D Which is bigger-- Kuala Belait or Seria :? I will try to find pics of Seria, Temburung etc.

i think you've mistaken Serian for Seria. serian actually is my kampung which is located in Sarawak,MALAYSIA.

Hi Skyprince, I have been interested in Brunei, too! It is a nice place. I hope you don´t get angry when I add some more pictures of its beautiful and very clean capital city that I found on the net!:)

Matthias, you are the MAN !!! Thanks a lot and Please , post more pics of Brunei if you have . I am also an all-time fan of Brunei and it's cozy lifestyles :banana:

Alsen, LOL sorry I have corrected it :D

wow Bandar Seri Begawan is a nice small city with interesting architecture...

^^ If you look closer Bandar Sri Begawan looks exactly like any "tertiary" Malaysian towns while Kuala Belait is like a "pekan" in Malaysian standard. But both BSB and Kuala Belait are unique on their own ways and have different feel from cities in Malaysia. Brunei also makes me remember of Oman -- a rich Sultanate in the Gulf with almost the similar kind of lifestyle .

I will post more pics of Brunei but now I really have to focus on something :D
