this in is Bandar, I guess everything gold on here is actually gold!!!
Well Brunei definitely deserves its own blog entry. This country is highly developed and a lot of time and money has gone into making it absolutely stunning. Most people I talked to must have missed the beauty, it reminds me a little of Granada, Nicaragua, it nothing like it but just the feeling of looking around and there's so much to see. I came over here with Catherine and Dawn, a couple of Scottish girls I originally met in Semporna. When we went out for dinner the first night we met a guy who offered to have his driver take us to and from the Empire Hotel the next day, free of charge. It was a lovely day; the hotel was massive, one of the sultan’s brother’s money misusage missions. There will never be enough guests to fill it, and at $400 a night we wouldn't either. There is a nice little beach out front and we spent the day working on our tans, swimming and even seen a movie in the cinema that is part of the whole thing. Now I've met up with Desi, another girl I met and we are going to head to Kuching for the music
