‼️𝐏𝐄𝐒𝐎 𝐏𝐎𝐖𝐄𝐑‼️ Booked a ₱𝟮,𝟱𝟬𝟬.𝟬𝟬 𝘙𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘱 𝘛𝘪𝘤𝘬𝘦𝘵! Spend pocket money 300Brunei Dollar or 300SGD or ₱14,000.00php lang including the foods, transfers, accommodation, and pasalubongs na sa kids. Excluding the jewelries that I bought; this is for the 2 of us na ni JC, couple.

Before going here, I made my research and found out that Brunei is not a tourist spot destination. But it doesn't matter, as long as I scored this flight ng sobrang mura! 🤗

Well, sabi nila boring raw, and sleepy... Hmmm... Tama naman! hehe pero, for people like us na mahilig sa knowledge and aims for experiences, I could say that Brunei is a very interesting country!

1. ALCOHOL IS BANNED. Yes, banned nga ang alak, upon arrival sa airport pa lang very strict sila, checking talaga if may dalang alak, you have to declare sa customs. This is the only country I've been to na banned ang alak.

2. Cigarette selling is ILLEGAL as well. Kulong ka if nahuli ka, also pati alcohol.

3. DEATH PENALTY for drugs.

4. may BLACK MARKET raw if you want to buy alcohols and cigarettes.

5. They have 2 laws, Civil law and Islamic Law. Grabe noh? Isang law pa lang anghirap na natin sumunod, dalawa pa kaya? hehe

6. TAX FREE! Hindi nagbabayad ng tax ang mga tao.

7. FREE EDUCATION

8. FREE HEALTHCARE

9. FREE HOUSING

10. DISCIPLINED ang mga tao, walang nagjajay walk, yung mga cars nagsstop properly.

11. You can use Singapore Dollar in their country, same rate. May mga similarities sa singapore, like the roads, and the housing for people.

12. They are SULTANATE country. May King, and the king is the 2nd most richest man in the world raw.

13. Brunei is RICH due to oil.

14. It's an ISLAMIC country

15. They only have 400k+ population.

16. Walang masyadong luxury and branded items. Angdaming fake stuff pero naka-outlet pa talaga na airconditioned ha pero fake stuff? Wala akong mashopping to be honest. haha!

17. WIDE JEWELRY OPTIONS, Pero may ROLEX sila ha and Pandora, jewelry lng ang nabili ko na marami sila, kasi dba mahilig tlg sila sa jewelries malalaki ganon.. In fairness medyo mura dito...

18. They have one of the 7 STARS HOTEL in the world, na mostly sa Dubai meron. Indeed 7 stars! Silver ang mga utensils and ginintuan ang paligid. Didn't expect! Mas maganda sa personal naman tlg kesa sa pictures hehe...

19. They have the 2ND MOST LONGEST SUSPENSION bridge in the world. Yung 1st raw is sa Pakistan 🙂

22. CLEAN roads and paligid...

23. They have WATER VILLAGE na parang slum area sa kanila, pero, lahat may sasakyan! Hehe may parkings near the water village.

24. NO PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION, didn't see kahit isa! Lahat raw kasi may sasakyan. Although maraming lumang sasakyan...

25. VERY SIMPLE COUNTRY.

26. Yung KING nila is a SOLDIER.. Astig!

27. Yung KING nila may-ari nung 7 Star Hotel The Empire Brunei

28. They have THEME PARK! So para sa mga adrenaline Junkie, meron pa rin naman magagawa na exciting, but we did not opt to, kasi yung gusto ko na GO KART, weekends lang open 😞

So yah, 2 days is enough. wala talaga gano magawa 😞 hindi rin ako nakapag-pa-massage... All in all, worth it naman! kasi hindi ganong magstos, and nakapag-explore, something new talaga sya kasi iba talaga sa Pilipinas at sa mga ibang bansa ko pa na napuntahan. Tho, this will be the last country in my list na gusto kong balikan, hehehe...

#TrishieTravels Huhu yung Thailand namin last month hindi ko pa napopost 😞

UP NEXT: Palawan, Bali Indonesia, and Hong Kong!

Happy Travels!
