BRUNEI REPORT TRAVEL.

Punctual as never before, it leaves from KLIA 2 Airport in Sepang (Malaysia) at 6.45 A.M. my Air Asia Company Airplane in the direction of Brunei International Airport, (one-way ticket price including taxes MYR 117).

Of course, on the plane they don't offer you anything to eat and drink.

I therefore arrive at 9.05 am at Brunei International Airport.

To enter Brunei, you need to fill out three forms:

1. Arrival Card;

2. Incoming Passenger Card;

3. Health Declaration Card;

To reach the Bus Terminal located in Jln Cator, in the heart of the capital of Brunei Bandar Seri Begawan, one step away from the Waterfront, from Brunei International Airport, located 8 km north of the aforementioned center, you need to take one of the following buses: 23, 24, 36 and 38, at the cost of 1 BND. Tickets can be purchased on the bus.

From the Bus Terminal you have to walk for about 500 meters. in Jln Sungai Kianggeh, heading north before finding on the right the cheapest hostel in the capital, the Pusat Belia, located in the complex of the same name where there is also a restaurant, a gym and a swimming pool. It can be identified thanks to the obvious cylindrical staircase. The 28 rooms are divided by gender. The reception is only open from 8.00 to 12.00 and from 14.00 to 16.30. Outside these hours there are problems. The cost for one night is 10 BND, in the dormitory. Breakfast is not included.

The center of Bandar Seri Begawan, the capital of Brunei can be explored on foot.

If you want to visit the largest villages in the world on stilts with the motor boat, walk to the Waterfront of Bandar Seri Begawan, which is in a nutshell the riverside of Sungai Brunei, where the boats will approach you to offer you a 'excursion of half an hour or one hour by boat. By bargaining hard, you can reach a price of 10 BND for the aforementioned service. The boatman will take you inside the Villages and will also show you the great Sultan's Palace from the outside of course.

To visit on foot the Kampung Ayer composed of 28 Villages, on the northern bank of the River, carefully walk the long unstable walkways that are located southwest of the Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque, walking on the joists so as not to end up in the water.

To visit the Jame'Asr Bolkiah Mosque instead, which is the largest mosque in Brunei, located 3 km northwest of the center of Bandar Seri Begawan, take bus 1 from the Bus Terminal and ask the driver to make you get off near the mosque. Cost of 1 BND. Tickets can be purchased on the bus.

To go to Bangar, the Capital of the Brunei Enclave, the fastest solution is to take a speedboat from the small port in the Bandar Seri Begawan Waterfront, which leaves when full (you have to wait 1 hour at most) and takes about 45 minutes to reach Bangar along the Sungai Temburong in the middle of the Jungle. Cost of 6 BND. The ticket can be purchased at the ticket office of the small terminal.
