A visit to Brunei

I made a visit to brunei recently
Leaving in evening
Its a muslim country...they even put muslim rules in the law...such as its illegal fo work on fridays at lunch...due to praying
I wanted local dishes...I had some sweet drinks...that they told me were local
...and some other local dish...
But most things were closed due to praying...or...everything was closed...
Ecept some bus lines...
 
 
I met a chinese guy, who knew about the infrastrucutre in brunei..it kind of sux...buses are very random, and doesnt go to late...he tried to make money of tourist...else he was smuggeling alcohol into the country...
he drove for kind of an expensve fee to a hotel, that was "said to be famous"...
"Empire hotel"
as most things, it was built by the sultan...
...but most things were closed...due to praying
some nice view...
...it was some kind of peninsula...
and some oil plat form out there..which makes the sultan richer...he has like 170 königsegg and several hundred ferrarris...
some random island...
and a beach...
The shore seemed pretty artificiall...
praying hour..the life guard was sleeping...
Far away i could see the fire from the oil platform...
...nice toilet in this "fancy hotel"...
And some nice painting of how it looked like when the first europeans came...not sure if they really were "first"...
...but some 500 years ago...
omg...some very cheap shuttle bus was waiting behind the chinese driver who ripped us off....
its ok...they are everywhere in asia...just need to be aware of it....
some other building..
Sultan owned...according to the chinese...
And some mosque...blue one...like in istanbul...
no information...seems like i could enter...
however, they there were no signs of shoe deposit from the entrance..only from this place...hard to understand the rules...some muslims asked me to leave
It was a nice looking mosque...
next stop some "famous" night market...
pretty empty so far
And heavy rain was approaching
And very colourful drinks....
fortunettely they had fans..but still very smokey of all BBQ...
The chinese gave me 3 suggestions for "ocal food"...i manage to find "nasi lemak":..
rice and sause..and chicken...
more fire...making it even more smokey and foggy in this market...
...some other "local food"...reminded me of indonesian food...
...the sultan makes it easy to buy cars...but its very hard to walk around...
some new zeeland guy picked us up in the rain...and suggested some rain forrest walk...to see orangutang..which would be nice..he also suggested "Amboyat" as a local dish...i need to find that locla dish!
Since its a muslim country...pretty strict...there arent any alcohol to find...just some malt drinks...
Snacks day 1, peanuts, coconut milk, random snax and some malt drink...
