Saya sgt tertarik nak buat ttg artikel nih.. -->
bypass-brunei-its-boring/
Yup.. i do admit.. Brunei bukan lah negara yg byk entertainment.. no disco pub, no alcohol.. it is not tourist friendly..kalau org luar tanya pun.. especially my fren kat luar.. apa yg ada kat brunei.. i would say ME! ahahah...tempat yg menarik boleh di hitung dgn jari jer.. lagi pun Brunei only can 'sell' culture.. traditional dance/food... muzium2 pun ada sesetengah org je yg nak g.. contohnya bebalik kpd saya.. i wouldn't go to muzium if i go oversea.. unless i have much2 time or the muzium have lotsa unique thing..
kalau ckp ngan kengkawan pun.. i would say just stay 2,3 nites.. may be 2 pun dah cukup hahah coz Brunei ni tak lah seseronok ngeri lain yg ada taman tema (well dulu ada jerudong park.. now dah jd kecik n tak sbest dulu.. lagi best USS).. Sekali dalam seumur idup g brunei pun tak apa.. i understand that much hoho.. but the best things to live in Brunei is the peaceful place where u cant find elsewhere.. i've been to Jakarta/KL... Oh my.. jln2 sentiasa jammed.. nak g kedai yg dekat 15 min pun boleh berjam2 sampai... everyday is is jammed... few days ago I went to Jakarta.. Dah la jln macet (jammed).. u can see ppl r doing business on the road.. some ada yg meminta sedekah. Kat Brunei takde semua tu.. syukur alhamdulillah.. bukan nak kata org Brunei kaya2.. ada gak yg miskin (we did some surveys n found out that ramai yg memerlukan bantuan) cuma cara kerajaan brunei tackle masalah tu berbeza.. Syukur kerajaan kebawah Duli sgt memeduli & memberikan bantuan.. kalau ada yg cuba mengemis di tepi jalan, pasti akan ada tindakan dari pihak berkuasa.. at least pemandangan di Brunei tak lah menyakitkan mata kan?? hehe
Been to Singapore.. wlupun tak jammed mana coz they have MRT but hey living there u have to pay tax, beli makanan ada tax, beli baju ada tax.. jln pun kena cepat2.. aduh.. unlikely in Brunei.. no tax okey.. eventho' kat Brunei takde la byk choices.. but it's ok.. keamanan sesebuah negara tidak boleh dibeli dengan wang ringgit okeh... well at least for me, i will have my reasons to travel if im bored here.. hahaha...
but ada gak la yg tak best nye kat Brunei i.e pekerja asing lebih ramai dari local.. as compare to neighbouring countries yg byk local.. so sad gak lah coz the tourist wouldnt feel the friendliness bruneian serving the customer while shopping.. kebanyakkan pun warga pilipin, indonesian n indian yg bekerja.. something to think about.. maybe local terlalu pemilih dgn pekerjaan mcm ni atau the owner tak suka pekerja local.. hohooo...
Anyway the best months for the tourist to feel the joy of staying here are...
23rd February.. Brunei national day, got the chance to see the His Majesty n the celebration..
15th July onwards.. HM birthday.. quoted: "he festive seasons.Where we celebrated our sultan’s birthday like no other places in the world.The sultan came to visit in every district of brunei.Get together and we even get to perform for the sultan.Correct me if im wrong,but in other places.It would be a 0% probability to meet their king right.But here in brunei,we could meet our leader easily.Also during this festive season,there will be night stalls selling brunei famous food,clothes,accesories and many more.something you couldnt find elsewhere.There will also performance from the locals and u will get to see how different brunei traditions are."
Eid seasons.. The sultans will open up his castle and throw an open house for everyone to come and see him
Takpelah negeri org ada salji..
Takpelah negeri org ada kedai yg besar2 lagi byk pilihan..
Takpelah negeri org ada taman tema yg best2 .. canggih-manggih..
I can only say if u want silent nite.. peaceful sleep.. walk around without worry of pick-pocket.. no hours of jammed (kecuali accident coz ada yg sibuk amik photo.. trends nowadays *sigh*) u are welcome stay here, Brunei, the land Abode of Peace... \\//.. there so much in Brunei that i love.. syukur Alhamdulillah...
