    • Bruneian people are very polite and rely on etiquette, so, the foreigner has to be polite ; never try to shake hands with a lady; it may be a big offence and if the lady does not raise her hand do not try to take it.

    • Alcoholic beverages
    Brunei is a “dry” country, so, no alcoholic beverages; non- Muslims are allowed to import some (24 beer cans and 2 bottles of wine, if you really “need” that), but no “provocation” is allowed, so, no drink in open view (except some restaurants where it is allowed to “bring your own” (drinks)).

    • Drugs
    Forget about smoking your favourite grass in this country, or you may stay there for much longer as you planned! Cigarettes only.

    • This is a tree nursery in the forest; the young trees are kept in shade as they would if growing naturally; the young trees here are durian, as one can see from the remaining burs. The Durian is a very appreciated fruit in all over South East Asia.

     I enjoyed reading this page, Hermann. The waterfall and forest are really pretty. And those mosques- VERY impressive, in keeping with the style of the Sultan! Great pictures. I will return here anon to finish my tour.    		icunme Sun Nov 25, 2007 22:33 UTC
     Yep - the Sultan is known for having bought and sold a good portion of Beverly and cruising about in his exotic cars with the license plate "Sultan." Ciao, Carol Ohhh, I did find Pleny the Elder.....
