Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei

Brunein yhteenveto

Vietin Bruneissa yhteensä 5 päivää. Vietin ison osan ajasta pääkaupungissa ja sen lähistöllä. Majoitus on Bruneissa Kallista, onneksi ei tarvinnu välittää siitä sillä CouchSurffasin koko reissun. Ruoka on kalliimpaa kuin muualla Kaakkois-Aasiassa. Matkustin pääasiassa hostini kyydillä...

Brunei, the Abode of Peace ... shouldn't all country names be this serene?
