OVERVIEW
Situated on the northwest coast of Borneo, Brunei, a very small oil-wealthy Islamic country, is world famous for its Sultan's amazing prosperity, its tax-free and financed society. Residents of Brunei enjoy the highest per capita incomes compared to other countries around the world. Though its downtown has been rebuilt in a contemporary fashion, most parts of the country are still undeveloped.
The residents of Brunei seem to be sufficiently pleased with their conventional system with free healthcare, free education, free sporting centers, cheap loans and high, tax-free wages. However, there is no nightlife to enjoy, alcohol is practically unattainable, and the political culture supports silence acceptance to the decree of the sultan.
Special purchases include handworked silverware, brassware and bronzeware such as jugs, trays, gongs, boxes, napkin rings, spoons and bracelets; and fine handwoven sarongs, baskets and mats of pandan leaves.
Shopping centres at Bandar Seri Begawan, Seria and Kuala Belait offer local products and imported items. The Tamu Night Market in Bandar Seri Begawan is open from early morning to late at night and sells many fruits, spices, poultry and vegetables, as well as antiques. Food is available there at the lowest prices in town.
Bruneian people are mainly Muslim and their official language is Malay. Brunei has a tropical climate. The country's currency is the Bruneian Dollar.
Some tips to take into account when visiting Brunei: the electricity runs on 240 Volts and the country code is 673.
