Eighth Movement: Finale

Now on the bus heading to JAC. The ride on the fastcraft was uncomfortable, not to mention that it takes around 1 hour. On the way on board the bus, we saw the 3rd Guards personnel sleeping soundly in their buses. Their journey has just stared... Less than 1 more day left in Brunei. WooHoo! (why do I keep repeating myself?)

Now resting at JAC after an interesting day full of sights and sounds. What did we do today:
- we went on an E-tour of Bandar Seri Begawan
- first stop was the Royal Regalia Museum which gave us some insight to the lives of the Sultan of Brunei and the royal family. Boy is he rich!
- next was the Malay Technology Museum which showcases the lives of the people living in the River Village. I was surprised to learn that the village has been around for more than 600 years. Talk about history!
- we went on a trip around the River Village. They have everything that houses have on land; air-con, electricity, internet lines, schools, and even gyms and a stadium. Really amazes me. Heritage can really stand next to modernisation after all.
- the ultimate place has got to be Friday prayers at Masjid Sultan Hasanal Bolkiah. The interior was really undescribable. In Singapore all the mosques are small but in Brunei the mosques really stands out. Will try to include a picture for those who did not went inside.
- we then break fast for the day at Riverview Hotel where the buffet filled me up till next morning. Nothing spectacular about the buffet though.
- shopped for souvenirs at the Mall. It was hard finding gifts for the family, Azri and kelvin but I did managed to get some for all.

Well that marks the end of the whole Brunei trip... too bad I did not have a camera with me to capture all the wonderful moments that we had there. Till next time, Selamat Tinggal Brunei
