salam
sorry wani, i ade dua je gambar hotel itu.hihi =P
okay.let's continue with sightseeing around Brunei. the day after the presentation, we decide to have a visit around Bandar Seri Begawan.we took the shuttle bus to the city centre as the hotel we stayed is quite far from the city. and i don't think any public bus will pass by the hotel either. it took around 50 minutes to reach the city centre.
to be honest, the Bandar Seri Begawan is not as busy as Kuala Lumpur. soooo calm and urban. i like! we went to Tamu Kianggeh; a market. i found lots of interesting/new things here.
first, this bedak warn-warni (colourful face powder). sangat interesting kan? according to the seller, bride usually use this face powder for their wedding. hmm, saya pun tak faham sangat macam mane mereka guna face powder ni. mungkin pakai macam biasa, supaya muka mereka pun jadi warna-warni lah out.haha!
second, durian with red flesh. excited! im not sure either this such durian available in malaysia because this is my first time seeing such durian in Brunei.
third, im don't know the name of this food. but im sure it is a food that human can eat. tak sempat nk interview peniaga market tue banyak-banyak. =P
forth, ketupat! tapi casing jer. im not whether we find any of this 'ketupat casing' at the market in malaysia. i just wonder, why they sell this ketupat casing at the market everyday? do they eat ketupat everyday? hmm...
fifth, the most interesting place at Bandar Seri Begawan is Kampung Ayer! this kampung is one of the place tourist must visit in Brunei. we had a tour around Kampung Ayer, which cost us $15. there are schools, petrol station(they just relocate the petrol station to the city centre recently), tourist centre; Kampung Ayer's museum , double-storey house, etc etc. this kampung is like another small town in Bandar Seri Begawan. mostly, people staying here own a private boat and they park their boat under their house. so cute! just like people staying at the land, park their car in fornt of their house..hihi. and for those who own a car, they need to park it at the city centre.
water taxi for tourist and people who need a ride from kampung Ayer to the city centre.
after that, we walk around the Yayasan Bolkiah building; which is a shopping bazaar. we bought souvenir for family and friends here, Masjid Sultan Ali Saifuddin; a royal islamic mosque.
at night, we enjoy the teh tarik at the lobby. this is the view of the hotel restaurant from the lobby. they said this the tarik is the most delicious teh tarik they ever found. and it's true, this teh tarik is the best!
after that, we had dinner at the hotel's chinese restaurant with the malaysia APICTA secretariat and judges.
a day before we went back to malaysia, we both watch Life of Pie at the hotel's cinema. and the jacuzzi and sauna few hours before we fly back.hihi.
that's all for my Brunei stories.
till then, wsalam~

Houses at Kampung Ayer
I love Brunei. I got this for free at the Kampung Ayer tourist centre. if you're interested to know more about Kampung Ayer, you can have a visit at the tourist centre. they share the history of Kampung Ayer here.
after that, we walk around the Yayasan Bolkiah building; which is a shopping bazaar. we bought souvenir for family and friends here, Masjid Sultan Ali Saifuddin; a royal islamic mosque.
we had our dinner at Hong Kong Halal restaurant. their dim sum are superb! this is my first time eating dim sum, cause im not so into chinese food. five dim sum sets just cost us $11.50. murah kan?
