Brunei

For my first trip to Borneo, I selected Brunei as the destination. The first country that I have been to where alcohol is prohibited, it was a nice break and offered a rather peaceful setting to catch up on some rest. It was also the first time that I have been on an airplane that was 'blessed' before it took off. Interesting weekend trip - not quite as exotic as it might sound - but a comfortable and safe feeling destination. Here are a few of the highlights.

Stilt communities and colourful houses, basically in the middle of town.on a hike in the national park. these were basically glorified stairs and pathways at the top of the trees. not really the safest feeling things I have been on. This indian guy kept wanting us to take pictures of him - it was hilarious.

the coolest mosque I have ever seen.
the most clothing I have ever worn in 40 degree heat. not comfortable!
