The last time I went to Brunei was in 2007. I went to Sabah and Brunei. What impressed me the most was that there were so many colorful fishes in the sea of Sabah. They were sunburned by snorkeling and chasing fish, and then the Empire of Brunei. The hotel is magnificent.
During the long holiday, there are many people in China. It is better to go abroad for a vacation. There is no domestic crowding, and there is no domestic crowding, and many attractions do not require tickets, so I chose Brunei. It is also a good idea to bring relatives and friends to the Imperial Hotel. Kind of enjoyment.
Brunei's full name is Brunei Darussalam, with a land area of 5,765 square kilometers, which is a little smaller than Shanghai. The total area of Shanghai is 6,340 square kilometers. The entire country has a population of just over 400,000, is rich in oil and natural gas, and has two cars per capita. The king is rich in Southeast Asia, where there is the world's largest palace, Nulloiman Palace. The king once felt that going to Disneyland was too far to play and spent 1.3 billion to build a playground in China. The welfare of the people there is also good, and the registration fee is only one yuan. Brunei attaches great importance to education. Children pay for their studies. The children there are very happy. They go to school in the morning and play in the afternoon. Playing the piano is just a hobby, and there are no many supplementary classes. There is only one university in the country. After being admitted to the university, the principal will bear all the expenses. If you drive to the school, the principal will subsidize the gas, and this principal is the king.
Brunei is an Islamic country. The whole country is banned and alcoholic. You can't buy cigarettes or alcohol in shops. You can't drink alcohol in any restaurant. You can't smoke in public places. Smoking outdoors must be 6 meters away from the gate.
The currency of Brunei is Brunei currency, Singapore currency and Wen currency always maintain a one-to-one exchange rate, which is common throughout the country. In the past, 1 yuan currency was equivalent to about 5 yuan, but it has recently appreciated to about 5.2. The devaluation of the renminbi is not conducive to travel abroad. It is best to exchange the currency into Singapore dollars before travelling to Brunei.
Brunei implements a visa on arrival for my country at S$20. There are no duty-free shops in the airport because they are tax-free nationwide.
Our itinerary is to take the Royal Brunei Airlines from Shanghai Pudong Airport on October 2nd, overnight in Brunei Hotel, visit Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddin Mosque, Water House, etc., stay at Imperial Hotel on October 3~5, Eat, sleep, sleep in a daze, stay in Ruichi Hotel on October 6, visit Jamie Mosque, Katong Night Market, and return to China on October 7.
Typhoon Mina skipped the vicinity of Shanghai on October 1, and it was windy and rainy. Many flights were suspended. It’s a fate to choose the 2nd day trip. Even so, it’s still two hours late. It’s good to fly directly to the regular flight, otherwise you will have to stay up late. While we were waiting, the airport staff asked if we wanted to stay in Brunei for another two days due to the oversold air tickets. Royal Brunei Airlines provided accommodation and board. The six of us left four and became volunteers.
When they arrived at Bandar Seri Begawan, a staff member came to pick up the plane. They said that they would come to the hotel to pick them up to the designated hotel on the morning of the 7th, and then signed an agreement to give each person 150 yuan in pocket money. Seriously, you must open the envelope and count the money to confirm receipt.
Taxi in Brunei is very expensive, usually starting at 20 yuan, from the airport to the Brunei hotel is 25 yuan, six people cost 50 yuan for two cars, and the taxi cost 250 yuan. I went to the Imperial Hotel the next day. The waiter in the lobby found a local Uber for us. It was very cheap, only less than 20 yuan, and it was a business car.
Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddin Mosque
The lobby of the Imperial Hotel is shocking. The height of the 15-story building is very magnificent, with golden light everywhere, and the decorations on the staircase handrails are all natural opals. I will be amazed by this luxury for the first time.
The hotel room has a high floor, making people feel spacious and comfortable
Yellow is for royal use. Locals can't wear yellow clothes. But I brought two yellow T-shirts. Fortunately, I am a foreigner.
Then started a three-day daze trip, eating, lying down, swimming, watching the sunset
For breakfast, the coffee is freshly ground and fragrant. The waiter saw that the food I ate was simple, and specially sent four-color Chinese dim sum. The service was really attentive. The tableware were all sterling silver. I wanted to come back several times when I looked at it. Thinking about their punishment is too severe and the cost is too high. not worth it.
Not only me, but others are using this brain.
The sunset in the South China Sea is quite beautiful, and I am drunk.
Of course, you have to find a seafood market when you go to the beach. There is one two kilometers away from the hotel. They are all fresh and delicious.
The hotel also has a seafood buffet. Watching the sunset to eat seafood, it has a special flavor. I don't know what kind of shrimp it is, but the taste is okay.
When wandering in the city, I also passed a seafood market. I went in and looked at the Brunei prawns to die, so I just went to buy pot and charcoal. Fortunately, I entered a Chinese restaurant and asked the boss if he could make it, and said yes. I immediately ran back to the market to buy seafood. The best shrimp was 15 yuan a kilo, and I bought it for 18 yuan.
Katong Night Market is rich in food, most of which are one yuan and two yuan, which is quite cheap. The best one is red meat jackfruit, followed by red meat durian. The local famous spot is roast chicken butt, I didn't eat it.
