Yeah. I am just clearing up with the rumor. Still many people believe Brunei is boring. But I produced this video to let people know that Brunei is very nice for traveling :)
i will agree with you. Ive been there once and surprisingly i kinda miss Brunei now. would love to revisit soon after this covid19 turmoil. I havent fully discovered brunei yet.
That what most ppl fail doing when visiting other places more so other countries. It is the exploring of its hidden gems, its ppl and their culture. That is what travelling is all about. Not visiting well documented tourist trap or shopping excursions.
@@buj1387 I agree. Not every place must be a shopping destinations. For this you have the mega cities already. In fact traveling for shopping to save money might be a trap. The flight and hotel costs and possible customs might make your shopping trip more expensive than if you buy the same goods at home :D
For those who loves peace and stablity you are visiting the right country, if you looking for night clubs, casino, alcholol, cigarettes you are in the wrong country.
Yes that's right... I can get better life here than i work in other country This country is right place to save money,. 18 month already i have working in Brunei till now
Hey I'm 23 years old and I've been here for 8 months it's really peaceful and the people are friendly and amazing!!!! The food is great here!! I would def recommnt those with family that like peace, friendly and adventure in nature !!!! (No pollution) then definitely come here! But if you are a party animal then go see somewhere else!!! I love this place ❤️✊🏿
Wow, thx it means so much @Exposing Racism i just end up in this video during quarentine and i am an ori bruneian. Sorry but this dude doesn't get it cuz maybe he doesn't understand peaceful
@@humairah5461 Did you watch my video? I answered the question with "Brunei is NOT boring". I listed 6 things which I really liked about Brunei, which make Brunei in my eyes a lot more interesting than people might think ;)
Haha i love your reaction, you are surprisingly honest and kind. This is actually for a dare that my friends and i are doing. Which is i am not allowed to watch the video and jugdeging from the thumbnail, i have to comment. Dont worry, you r honestly generous to me, and i hv done this to other random youtubers
@@DjemoGraphic berapa lama anda tinggal di Kota Singa? Di mana anda belajar bahasa Melayu? Bagaimana pertuturan bahasa Melayu anda? Salam dari Temasek.
No offence. I love Brunei too, but why do you say you’re proud of being a bruneian? Did you accomplish something to make brunei the country it is now? I hope you dont take my question the wrong way. I just want to understand
As a Bruneian, thank you for giving positive and nice comments about my country😊❤ there is this new bridge open to go to Temburong . It is one of the new attractions in Brunei and i hope you look forward to see it😁❤
Hiiiiii. I saw the Bridge in 2018, while it was still under construction. I liked Brunei, so my review is really based on my honest opinion :) Hopefully I can come back. Semoga boleh bercuti lagi di Brunei di tahun 2021.
Hi,sabahan here..I've been to brunei once but i never really had a chance to go wander around the rainforest.i would like to visit brunei again someday to learn about the culture and its people. Oh, and everywhere i go,it is so clean, even the kampung air, not a single rubbish i spotted there
Sonong tangadau. You are right: Brunei is really clean. I can highly recommend to visit the Ulu Ulu Temburong National Park. The culture of Brunei is probably similar to the one of the Malays of Malaysia: But the royal culture with all its ceremonies is more prevalent in Brunei. In terms of religion: Brunei is very observant, families have many gatherings for prayers; I have been invited twice to friends houses and was allowed to watch them.
Good to know your view. last year (November 2019) went to Brunei. The first ever country that i visited in South East Asia. Good environment and peaceful. People in Masjid Omar Ali Saifuddein and water taxi driver from Kampung Ayer really friendly and help me during solo travel there. Food also cheaper even it using same currency as Singdollar.
Hi. Yup, the SGD/BND exchange is so cool! We have a similar agreement with Liechtenstein, they use CHF :) Interesting that Brunei was your first destination in Southeast Asia :) More commonly people first go to Bali. Brunei was my 3rd country I visited in Asean. I first visited it on Transit and then 2x from Malaysia in the following months. Where are you from by the way?
@@DjemoGraphic i'm malaysian. since Brunei is our neighbor and nearest country (near to Miri, Sarawak), it's good destination to visit. I dream for a long time to went there. Finally i reach there. From Miri, after reach the border at Sungai Tujoh Immigration, you will arrive the first district of Brunei, Kuala Belait. After that Tutong and Brunei-Muara. Some advice from my friend, they told me to take direct flight from KLIA to Bandar Seri Begawan. but i rather to choose transit to Miri, Sarawak. Take public transport via bus to enter Bandar Seri Begawan. Depart from Terminal Bas Pujut. Price ticket also cheaper around B$20 for one way. Took a bus from Malaysia, at least we can feel travel 3/4 region of Brunei. Using one bus.
@@AkramMega Nice. I went to Miri in 2018. I remember the flight ticket was the cheapest I ever purchased. From SG to Miri only 25 SGD. It was ridiculously cheap! I actually loved Miri a lot too. But too bad that time I did not film there. I want to go again. And KBelait I still need to visit. That part of Brunei I havent seen yet.
Hi Emon. Thanks a lot for your feedback. Happy to hear that you now would plan to go for a trip. I hope the situation is going back to normal soon. Brunei seems to be lucky to not have had any new cases since 19th of April; assuming they will declare their country of being corona-free soon, hopefully! I hope the best for Singapore and the Philippines too; it may however take a few more weeks.
OMG! I love this video! Mostly I always watch negative videos on Brunei and I hate the way people represent the country in their channel. I am a Bruneian and I feel so proud watching your video which I don't usually feel watching other related videos.
Hi Sarah. Terima kasih untuk komen kamu on my video :) Rasa sangat gembira to hear that you like it. It was my pleasure to produce video. I have been 4x to Brunei in total. I had to figure out how to travel Brunei, but once I did, I realized what potential Brunei has as a tourist destination. It was one of my best trips in 2018! Semoga boleh balik Brunei ke lima di tahun hadapan. Then, I will record another and hopefully even better video.
i would agree to that, some people just dont really know how to appreciate travel in all countries. there has never been one country i have been that was boring. it all depends on what the traveler is in search for. my brunei trip was amazing and i would go back again for a revisit.
@@UMAKEMESMILESWACKIN There is second hand embarrassment. But who says anything about being perfect? It took years for him to follow the sharia law. Most of us here could care less. We don't like causing chaos. Private affairs are private affairs. This discussion is among his family.
One day i will visit your country too.. Want to see your beautiful and interesting places in your country.. Hope you can guide me during my visit to country
I have a nephew that lives and teaches there at the University. From what I have seen and read, through my nephew's photos, it's an amazing place. Someday I'll go there.
Hi Bruce. That's very interesting to hear. Yeah, Brunei is quite an underrated country. Just because it's small, many people label it as boring. It's a lot more interesting than people might think. I hope you will have a great trip overthere. With your nephew, you will have a great tourguide! :)
Correction.. Bandar seri begawan is not a town.. It is a capital of brunei darussalam and for your information kiulap, gadong and serusop is an area in Bandar seri begawan.
Hi Jemonie. It was my pleasure to produce this video. I have been told that Brunei is very boring; but myself I felt its so much better than what people told me. Thus, I wanted to share my experience here on RUclips. I will surely come again. Hopefully after the Corona Virus crisis is over.
Yes. Ok, actually 3x in 2013. I had to transit from Manila in BSB and then was taken around during 3h by my local friends. Then I went there again few weeks later, spent there one whole day and then went to Limbang in the evening. And 2 months later I again went to Brunei for 1 day and then went to Sarawak. My 4th trip was 5 days long; that's where I finally really explored Brunei.
Hi. Most welcome. It's my honest feedback. My video is about traveling and I feel Brunei deserves more attention as a holiday destination :) Hopefully I can come again next year!
I'm really glad you appreciate our modest attractions here in Brunei. We like to keep them low key and let visitors come at their own will. While we Bruneians might seem reserved, we will always be glad to go out of our way to help our guests. Anyway, I do hope you'll come by again once all the current travel-restrictions is over. There's some more places outside of Bandar Seri Begawan that you should explore, which I would be happy to show you. Stay safe! p.s. you pronounced Jame' Asr Hassanil Bolkiah Mosque better than most Bruneian!
Hi Kamarul. I was hoping to hear from you. Thank you so much for your nice feedback! I would be very happy to return to Brunei and surely go for an outing with you to explore the less known parts of Brunei. We can collab :) Sudah rindu Brunei. Semoga boleh balik di tahun hadapan! ...And about the pronounciation. I always get amused when people badly mispronounce swiss words and pretend they are right. Thus, myself I have to keep a better standard and try my best to pronounce foreign words precisely.
true, i noticed lots of hate towards brunei not sure why? Ive been to brunei and surprisingly I kinda enjoyed your country. It has lots to offer you just need to watch youtubers like this with better guides and reviews. there is no such country i find boring, it is entirely you who makes it fun and memorable.
Hi. It's my pleasure to share my good travel experience I had in Brunei. I very much enjoyed it, and I will come back for sure; hopefully to discover new places :)
Hi. The story is interesting! The first 3 trips all happened in 2013 :) 1st time: Transit 4h from Manila to go to KK. My KK friend's friends from Brunei were touring me around. That was during Ramadan 2013 2nd time: Returning from Kuching and then visiting my friend in Limbang. I joined my Bruneian friends for berbuka puasa and then went to Limbang 3rd time: Transit to Limbang. Again got a little bit around 4th time: That was in 2018, I went to Brunei for 5 days to finally get to see more of the country!
If you are looking for a place of entertainment or shopping, Brunei probably not the best for it. But if you're are looking for peace, new adventure, nature and culture exploration please come to Brunei. Our foods are cheap too. Worry not
Nice, thanks for the good review on my country there pal. Appreciate it. Switzerland's amazing too, been there once. There's always beautiful magical places everywhere if we just know where to look at. Subbed right away!
Been there and I love it, we were lucky to experience the hari kaya, we went to istana nurul iman, it was an amazing experience to celebrate the end of Ramadan in Brunei 🇧🇳 hope I could visit again… iloveu Brunei 🇧🇳❤️🥰
I had the same experience like him in brunei. I never had a dull moment in brunei. I loved the floating village, the monkeys, the tropics, the people everything about the country revolves on one simple word for travel. Simplicity.
Hi Ahmad. Sama2. Saya rasa sangat gembira awak suka video saya :) I had a great time in Brunei. Brunei is tiny but got quite some things to show and it's a great country for explorers, because much can be seen in a short time. I can't wait to come back :) Hopefully next year.
Hi Syafiq. Thank you so much for your nice comment :) Very happy to hear that. I really had a great time in Brunei. Was really nice and I hope to come again :) ke lima hehe
As a Bruneian my whole life, I can say that Brunei is fun for people who are really interested in forests, but to be honest, it's really boring. We are a small nation, that means we have limited land, meaning that we have little attractions. For me, it's so boring, I'm actually planning to move out the small kingdom, as I see little to no opportunity here for me and because I have no sense of belonging and patriotism to this nation. For tourists, I can say with some honesty that you will have some fun. If you plan to live here, then I suggest that you reconsider. There might be a small gem her in this nation, but I want to spend my life seeing and finding bigger gems, like those in Japan, Korea, America or anywhere. My comment is not to be taken seriously, as it is just my opinion. Thank you for taking the time to read a comment that came from a Bruneian.
I'm also bruneian and I agree with your opinions regarding this country. There really isn't much opportunity here especially when it comes to entertainment like art, music and etc. I'm actually very curious and keen to learn about our culture but it's really not an easy thing to do since most of our culture or history approximately during 14th-17th century were not properly preserve or not preserved at all. However, I must admit that I am kind of proud now to see people trying to change that. I've seen locals trying to make a film, music ,businesses and etc. Even though, we're moving slowly I still appericiate the effort.
Hi. These days it is very hard to predict how the global travel business is going to change and normalize in the next few months. I assume till end 2020 nothing will be as it used to be in 2019. But I am optimistic for 2021. I hope you will be still going to Brunei and have a great time with your partner.
@@zadeeqmg5921 Oh no. That's sad to hear, although it was sort of expected with this pandemic still being very present. I hope you can rebook your trip in the future.
Brunei is not boring country..You are right, a lot of interesting places..i been to yayasan complex, to that 2 golden mosque and Temburong..no polution, no traffic at all and a very peaceful country.
Yup! Brunei is really nice. I agree, it's peaceful. Myself I come from Kampung, thus I know what is the benefit of living in a hassle-free environment. Vibes I got to feel in Brunei. Now that you mention it, I most probably did love Brunei also because it gives me that vibes I get from my hometown. Serene and beautiful :)
Very nice country & unique. On one side dry area with amazing golden Mosque & the other side, wet area with the river and floating area. Fazit: Brunei is not boring 😉
Hi Hurairah. Thank you so much for your nice comment. It was my pleasure to present Brunei in this way. I really enjoyed my trips there. Next time hopefully I can produce a better video. The B-rolls were from my 1st ever RUclips video hehe
DjemoGraphic you’re most welcome. Glad you have enjoyed your trip there. Well, even if its from your 1st ever youtube video but it looks good tho 👍🏻 And I couldn’t agree with you more about the sunset. I really miss the sunset in Brunei. Oh bytheway, did you tried our traditional food last time, ambuyat? Oh and I just followed you on instagram, nice posts.
@@raizuhyun Yes. My friend took me to have Ambuyat. It was very nice. The sambal is fermented is it? It tasted like it. Lovely dish. I heard it's native to Brunei and Sabah :D Thanks a lot for following me on IG. Really happy to hear that. And yeah, I also miss Brunei, especially the sunsets. Semoga boleh balik tahun hadapan.
DjemoGraphic thats nice you’ve tried. How do you like it? Anyway Im not quite sure tho, but I think yes its fermented..true, its native to Brunei and Sabah and I think Sarawak as well. Oh yes to me Brunei has the best sunsets ever. Can’t wait to be home again. Oh most definitely you can come again next year 😃
One of the factor that affected this, is that the youth are not interested to work hard in the private sector. They are waiting for a position in the public sector with great benefit. Even if they work in the private sector, most youth would just quit when the demand of work is increase. They expect high salary and low job scope. Most youth of Brunei are not like this, but still it is hard for them to look for work due those incompetent local are also in the market for a job they might quit from months later.
Hi Mustafa. Thank you so much for your nice comment. It was my pleasure to produce this video. I really enjoyed Brunei and surely saya akan balik Brunei. Semoga di tahun hadapan :)

Hiiii Doni. Im so happy to hear from you! Thank you so much! Yeah, I really enjoyed Brunei! I think you could see that on my last trip; I seemed very happy. It was much better than I expected!

Hi Qayyum :) Thank you so much for your nice feedback. It was my pleasure to give this review about Brunei. Much love from Switzerland to Brunei. Semoga boleh jumpa, have a good weekend :)
Hi. Yeah, the footage I used was from 2 years ago, thus I did not take much about food. But what I can recommend is to try "Ambuyat". It's a speciality from Brunei and Sabah Malaysia. It's made of sago flour and you dip it into a special kind of sambal (chili paste) that I found tasted a little bit fermented. It was very nice. Near the Jerudong Park is a very large food court, where you can eat local and international delicacies. One of my local friends explained me that Bruneians often eat at home, thus, the street food culture is not as important as you may know it from other countries.
Thank you for the honest review on our country. When u try the "ambuyat" you must go to Tutong District where they have an old factory on how to produce the sago
My impressions of Brunei and the Capital BSB, is that it is both boring, pristine and beautiful. I too struggled with the Sharia law and some elements of what appeared to be a very patriarchal society. None the less I met a very lovely intelligent lady, a HJH (I hope I got that right) Siah Ahmat, who was very welcoming in to her extended family who mostly resided in the oil town of Kuala Belait. I struggled a bit with the opulent life style and was extremely envious of the 50c per litre gasoline when we were paying $1.50+ per litre in the west. The Islamic religion and all its rituals were a bit daunting to a lapsed Christian, yet the modern and bejewelled dress sense of the ladies was a far cry from the drab burkah styles in the middle eastern arabic countries. All up Brunei is a lovely tropical jungle oasis on the main SE-Asian Borneo Island, and a must see for all types of travellers.
Hi Khairul. Sama2, I have enjoyed a lot. Yeah foodie wise I have to admit I was not doing enough research hehe. But my friend took me to have Ambuyat at least. I'd be honored to be shown around by you, especially learning more about Bruneian foodie culture.
Greetings from the Philippines 🇵🇭 Been to Brunei twice and I love it. Won't mind going back for more. I love how they keep the environment healthy and nature thriving. Thanks for sharing your experience 👍
Hi Ian. I agree! Brunei has really nicely preserved its nature. That also fascinated me :) The Philippines are also a very beautiful country. I went there 3x and I want to go there more often in the future :D
@@DjemoGraphic It's good a thing that each country has different things to offer. Bangkok, KL or Manila may be more fast spaced but traffic/pollution sucks. Brunei has its own quiet, almost rustic, laid back charm that makes it unique from the rest 😉
@@thisiangarcia Yup, it's nice that Brunei marks a quiet spot. I found Sabah and Sarawak quite similar regarding that. Also very peaceful and even more rural :)
Hi there! I'm intrested in visiting this country in the near future. Is it easy to get a visa? What is their official language? Do they speak english? Is it safe to be there if you are by yourself? Thanks.
Hi Lusi. You should visit Brunei. It's good for 2-4 days for visit. It depends which country you are from. I think you can get a visa issued in any ASEAN country. Probably Thailand, Malaysia or Singapore. The official languages are Malay and English. Thus, it's going to be very easy to roam around. Brunei is furthermore very safe.
If you a in brunei..you wil be surprised with their english speaking ability. Just roam around and ask the friendly people of brunei....they will smile at you.....😊😊😊🤗🤗🤗
Yes Brunei has many beautiful nature reserves and waterfronts. It is a very safe country. It also has a variety of delicious local and international food at very reasonable prices. However, if a person is looking for shopping and nightlife, the shopping is nothing to shout about and since it is a Muslim country alcohol is not permitted. However, any person can easily cross over to Limbang, a border town of Malaysia towards the East of Brunei for nightlife activities. Alternatively, cross into Miri, a border town of Malaysia besides the West of Brunei. Enjoy 👍😊
Yeah I agree. Brunei is more about the nature and then also the mosques. It's not the kind of country you would travel to for shopping. In fact all my Bruneian friends would go to KK or BKK for that. And Limbang is nice too. I have been there in 2013. Are you from Malaysia or Brunei. Your name suggests you are Hokkien.
@@desmondng4290 I assume you went there also for military training. I used to live in Singapore for 5.5 years, and many of my friends told me they went to Brunei during National Service.
As a Bruneian , i used to think Brunei is boring... but the more countries i visited. Till date 16 of them. I realised...its all the same.... the longer you stay in a country you feels bored. But Brunei have a smaller market in Shopping sector toh. Thats the real truth. So for those who only travel to shop. BRUNEI is not the country Yet. But for Mosques visits and natural forest hiking or ATV riding, beaches and snorkel/diving, visiting local culture at the Old village(kampung Ayer) , riding speed boat for mangrive forest tour for sceneries, Brunei is still good to visit.
I agree. Brunei is not the place for shopping, but it's AMAZING for jungle trekking and the mosques are stunning. Especially the mangrove forest and Ulu temburong are places that I miss greatly.
Djemi hope you can come visit our country again.. If i have time i will bring you to visit our hiking places.. We have lot of that places. For your info our new bridge to temburong is almost done.. Now people in brunei can use that bridge temporary due to covid 19.
Hi Maxie. That sounds great. I am happy to receive suggestions from you. Sounds like a plan. Looking forward! I will surely come back, but after the corona virus situation is over.
Hey Djemo, really loved the review style and glad you enjoyed your time here. Brunei is definitely one of the lesser known places in Southeast Asia and think you summed up the essentials quite nicely. Keep it up with travel vlogs! 👌🏽
Hi Badi. Thank you so much for your nice comment. Yeah, I really enjoyed Brunei. It is well known, just not for traveling. Semoga boleh balik ke lima :)
I'm bruneian but never been to ulu temburong 😂...Yes Brunei is beautiful country....If you looking for peaceful situation, Brunei is perfect for y'all to come.
Hi Zuhailie. I am most happy to have produced this video. It was so nice to do vacation in Brunei. Especially my last trip was really great. I really miss Brunei. Semoga boleh balik Brunei di tahun hadapan :) Much love from Switzerland to Brunei ;)
With a right guide no place is boring! But honestly I was quite surprised to hear that somebody thinks that Brunei 🇧🇳 is boring. It always seemed to me to be a nice (maybe quite but still nice) and picturesque place.
@Dani Sta As a Bruneian myself, im actually not surprised that people would say that. It's just that they are so clueless of where to go and what to do here. Which I couldn't quite blame them, especially if they came here on friday instead of the weekend. I just hope that Brunei has more to offer to change their minds.
APEX BerZerKer I have never been there but to me it seems to be an interesting place but it all depends on the person. If someone is looking some crazy party life maybe it’s not a right place but if someone is looking to visit some beautiful places it can be the place. We find (or don’t) this what we are looking for. Sometimes we can be really surprised. Good to have Djemo opening for us some doors...
Hi. I am most glad to share my review about Brunei. This is really how I felt and I really enjoyed my trip. However, the first 3 trips, I did not get to see enough. But after my 4th trip, on which I really got to see a lot more, I got convinced that Brunei is VERY underrated and deserves more attention :) I hope to come back again!
Sama2 abang Jugul Awang. Saya rasa sangat gembira bila bercuti di Brunei. Semoga boleh balik Brunei tahun hadapan. Sila stay sihat :) Brunei almost soon free of Corona :)
Who said Brunei is such a boring country?? To me.. Not at all coz it's cool, good people nice food n country. I ve Been there many times and I m still love to travel 2 Brunei. Esp the mosques in Brunei.. Though it is small country actually there r so many things u can xplore in Brunei esp for traveller ..learn the culture, the food.. Brunei is fantastic.. luv Brunei.. from KL
Yeah. I agree with you. Many people say it's boring to travel to Brunei because the tourism there has for a long time not been a priority of the country. Once you know how to travel Brunei you will love it. That's why I will go there again :)
YES Brunei is boring, poor transportation system (both public and private), poor education system, hidden economic Crisis, poor tourism, mass unemployment(due to cronyism and nepotism) and mismanagement of the government.
Hi. Yeah, Brunei is very underrated. I really can't wait to come back to Brunei. I always very much enjoyed my visits. And it's definitely NOT boring :)
I'm impressed that you'd visited my country for four times. Nice unbiased review and colourful video. The way you pronounced "Brunei" was perfect. I've never been to Switzerland (I'm a nature lover), but the neighbouring countries of Swiss. Subscribe!
Hi Abid. Terima kasih untuk nice comment. Really happy to hear that from you :) Yes, in 2013 I have been 3x to Brunei. I also went to Limbang hehe. But the longest holiday I had was my last one in 2018. Semoga boleh balik Brunei di tahun hapadan.
Hi. Thank you so much. Yeah, it's my pleasure to come again to Brunei. I surely will record another and better video :) Can't wait balik Brunei tahun hadapan.
A lot of people think Brunei is only the Omar Ali Saifuddien mosque and that's it. But there is a lot more. Before traveling it's always a great idea to do some research :) That's why I came to the conclusion that Brunei is great :)
i love ur video. because of it size, brunei is really unique for travellers. hav u visited the waterfall, that was only few minutes from the capital? travellers dont hav to go deep into the jungle to enjoy nature. i think that a big plus 😄
Hi Mos Ismail. Thank you so much for your nice comment :D ! I went to a mini waterfall in Ulu Temburong. Where is the waterfall that you meant? I am really curious now. On my next trip to Brunei I will try to film it. In fact, there's a lot more to discover about Brunei. It's a small country. I am from Switzerland, we are small too. I lived in Singapore, it's even smaller than Switzerland and Brunei hehe.
it's in tasek lama, in bandar. people go there everyday, any time of the day (except at night) for recreational activities. its so relaxing if u just want to enjoy the waterfall.
Farell Salvador thank you for your last review about Brunei bro. U know bro when many people talked badly about your country (esp during that period when u made ur review the environment was toxic), when watching your review, i was touched that you kept insisting Brunei was not Boring. It really helped emotionally. That was what I really needed the most during that period, a positive reinforcement. When the whole world abandoned us, you were one of the few voices that was willing to go into opposite direction. I dont know you personally but because of your video it always feels like you are a friend Ive always personally known my entire life. I might ve never met you but I dont think I will ever forget you because Im forever grateful. Tq like a million times.
I am a bruneian and yes, I think Brunei is boring. There is not much things to do anymore, but after this quarantine, I feel like that boredom is gone because I had been staying at home for 3 months
I guess it's common that we people always think the things that we don't have are achievable to visit. But I think now after the quarantine we all have the chance to explore our own place more. Have you been to Ulu Temburong already?
@@DjemoGraphic I did with my friends. It was more like in the forest rather than at the resort. I didn't stay at the resort but it was the best. One time experience
@@afriend5107 I agree. My trip to Temburong was one of the best activities I did on travels. I want to stay overnight to go up to the spire for sunrise and see the mist :)

Hey I'm 23 years old and I've been here for 8 months it's really peaceful and the people are friendly and amazing!!!! The food is great here!! I would def recommnt those with family that like peace, friendly and adventure in nature !!!! (No pollution) then definitely come here! But if you are a party animal then go see somewhere else!!!
I love this place ❤️✊🏿
Yeah, Brunei is great. It's more to serene rather than busy urban lifestyle
Wow, thx it means so much @Exposing Racism i just end up in this video during quarentine and i am an ori bruneian. Sorry but this dude doesn't get it cuz maybe he doesn't understand peaceful
@@humairah5461 Did you watch my video? I answered the question with "Brunei is NOT boring". I listed 6 things which I really liked about Brunei, which make Brunei in my eyes a lot more interesting than people might think ;)
Haha i love your reaction, you are surprisingly honest and kind. This is actually for a dare that my friends and i are doing. Which is i am not allowed to watch the video and jugdeging from the thumbnail, i have to comment. Dont worry, you r honestly generous to me, and i hv done this to other random youtubers
@@humairah5461 I see. Interesting challenge hehe. Thank you for watching my video. Much love from Switzerland to Brunei.

Hiiii. :) Happy for you. It's really a beautiful country!
No offence. I love Brunei too, but why do you say you’re proud of being a bruneian? Did you accomplish something to make brunei the country it is now? I hope you dont take my question the wrong way. I just want to understand
Yes I am happy to be Bruneian🇧🇳
As a Bruneian, thank you for giving positive and nice comments about my country😊❤ there is this new bridge open to go to Temburong . It is one of the new attractions in Brunei and i hope you look forward to see it😁❤
Hiiiiii. I saw the Bridge in 2018, while it was still under construction. I liked Brunei, so my review is really based on my honest opinion :) Hopefully I can come back. Semoga boleh bercuti lagi di Brunei di tahun 2021.
i love brunei, it was one place had wonderful memories. would love to plan a revisit soon. havent explored yet the tropical jungles of borneo.
Yes been to your Temburong Bridge so amazing
Dude, other countries had already started building the longest bridges in the early 16th century.
Hi,sabahan here..I've been to brunei once but i never really had a chance to go wander around the rainforest.i would like to visit brunei again someday to learn about the culture and its people. Oh, and everywhere i go,it is so clean, even the kampung air, not a single rubbish i spotted there
Sonong tangadau. You are right: Brunei is really clean. I can highly recommend to visit the Ulu Ulu Temburong National Park. The culture of Brunei is probably similar to the one of the Malays of Malaysia: But the royal culture with all its ceremonies is more prevalent in Brunei. In terms of religion: Brunei is very observant, families have many gatherings for prayers; I have been invited twice to friends houses and was allowed to watch them.
Good to know your view.
last year (November 2019) went to Brunei. The first ever country that i visited in South East Asia. Good environment and peaceful. People in Masjid Omar Ali Saifuddein and water taxi driver from Kampung Ayer really friendly and help me during solo travel there.
Food also cheaper even it using same currency as Singdollar.
Hi. Yup, the SGD/BND exchange is so cool! We have a similar agreement with Liechtenstein, they use CHF :) Interesting that Brunei was your first destination in Southeast Asia :) More commonly people first go to Bali. Brunei was my 3rd country I visited in Asean. I first visited it on Transit and then 2x from Malaysia in the following months. Where are you from by the way?
@@DjemoGraphic i'm malaysian. since Brunei is our neighbor and nearest country (near to Miri, Sarawak), it's good destination to visit. I dream for a long time to went there. Finally i reach there.
From Miri, after reach the border at Sungai Tujoh Immigration, you will arrive the first district of Brunei, Kuala Belait. After that Tutong and Brunei-Muara.
Some advice from my friend, they told me to take direct flight from KLIA to Bandar Seri Begawan. but i rather to choose transit to Miri, Sarawak. Take public transport via bus to enter Bandar Seri Begawan. Depart from Terminal Bas Pujut. Price ticket also cheaper around B$20 for one way.
Took a bus from Malaysia, at least we can feel travel 3/4 region of Brunei. Using one bus.
@@AkramMega Nice. I went to Miri in 2018. I remember the flight ticket was the cheapest I ever purchased. From SG to Miri only 25 SGD. It was ridiculously cheap! I actually loved Miri a lot too. But too bad that time I did not film there. I want to go again. And KBelait I still need to visit. That part of Brunei I havent seen yet.
I'm convinced, Djemo. I would like to visit it as soon as everything goes back to normal. :) Thank you.
Hi Emon. Thanks a lot for your feedback. Happy to hear that you now would plan to go for a trip. I hope the situation is going back to normal soon. Brunei seems to be lucky to not have had any new cases since 19th of April; assuming they will declare their country of being corona-free soon, hopefully! I hope the best for Singapore and the Philippines too; it may however take a few more weeks.
@@DjemoGraphic sadly we got new cases this week
@@makazen I saw it :(
OMG! I love this video! Mostly I always watch negative videos on Brunei and I hate the way people represent the country in their channel. I am a Bruneian and I feel so proud watching your video which I don't usually feel watching other related videos.
Hi Sarah. Terima kasih untuk komen kamu on my video :) Rasa sangat gembira to hear that you like it. It was my pleasure to produce video. I have been 4x to Brunei in total. I had to figure out how to travel Brunei, but once I did, I realized what potential Brunei has as a tourist destination. It was one of my best trips in 2018! Semoga boleh balik Brunei ke lima di tahun hadapan. Then, I will record another and hopefully even better video.
are you proud of your sultan?
tell me why is the sharia law not applicable to the sultan?
i would agree to that, some people just dont really know how to appreciate travel in all countries. there has never been one country i have been that was boring. it all depends on what the traveler is in search for. my brunei trip was amazing and i would go back again for a revisit.
@@UMAKEMESMILESWACKIN There is second hand embarrassment. But who says anything about being perfect? It took years for him to follow the sharia law. Most of us here could care less. We don't like causing chaos. Private affairs are private affairs. This discussion is among his family.

Hi. I love Brunei and I love Indonesia. Much love from Switzerland! :D
I love indonesia 💛
Thanks djemo for sharing about our country.
"Sharing is caring"
Hehe. Ya indeed, sharing is caring. Thank you for your nice comment. I just say what I felt. I really enjoyed my holidays in Brunei very much :)
One day i will visit your country too.. Want to see your beautiful and interesting places in your country.. Hope you can guide me during my visit to country
@@stanmax7828 :) Meanwhile, I publish more videos on Switzerland to give you a better insight into great places :)
I have a nephew that lives and teaches there at the University.
From what I have seen and read, through my nephew's photos, it's an amazing place. Someday I'll go there.
Hi Bruce. That's very interesting to hear. Yeah, Brunei is quite an underrated country. Just because it's small, many people label it as boring. It's a lot more interesting than people might think. I hope you will have a great trip overthere. With your nephew, you will have a great tourguide! :)
Me as a Bruneian perspective:
Old town: Bandar seri begawan
New town: Gadong, Kiulap , Serusop
Thank you for the comment. I will check out these places. I still got a lot more to discover in Brunei! That's why I will come back for a 5th time.
I thought oldest town in Brunei is kota batu and pekan muara
Correction.. Bandar seri begawan is not a town.. It is a capital of brunei darussalam and for your information kiulap, gadong and serusop is an area in Bandar seri begawan.
@@hjhamizan1622 why do you have to be so literal..
As a Bruneian myself i would like to thank you. Glad you had so much fun in our country 💜
Hi Jemonie. It was my pleasure to produce this video. I have been told that Brunei is very boring; but myself I felt its so much better than what people told me. Thus, I wanted to share my experience here on RUclips. I will surely come again. Hopefully after the Corona Virus crisis is over.
wow , u already visit brunei 4 times👏🏻🖤
Yes. Ok, actually 3x in 2013. I had to transit from Manila in BSB and then was taken around during 3h by my local friends. Then I went there again few weeks later, spent there one whole day and then went to Limbang in the evening. And 2 months later I again went to Brunei for 1 day and then went to Sarawak. My 4th trip was 5 days long; that's where I finally really explored Brunei.
thank you for giving our country such a positive feedback! It means a lot to us since we mostly get hate comments ^_^
Hi. Most welcome. It's my honest feedback. My video is about traveling and I feel Brunei deserves more attention as a holiday destination :) Hopefully I can come again next year!
I'm really glad you appreciate our modest attractions here in Brunei. We like to keep them low key and let visitors come at their own will. While we Bruneians might seem reserved, we will always be glad to go out of our way to help our guests. Anyway, I do hope you'll come by again once all the current travel-restrictions is over. There's some more places outside of Bandar Seri Begawan that you should explore, which I would be happy to show you. Stay safe!
p.s. you pronounced Jame' Asr Hassanil Bolkiah Mosque better than most Bruneian!
Hi Kamarul. I was hoping to hear from you. Thank you so much for your nice feedback! I would be very happy to return to Brunei and surely go for an outing with you to explore the less known parts of Brunei. We can collab :) Sudah rindu Brunei. Semoga boleh balik di tahun hadapan!
...And about the pronounciation. I always get amused when people badly mispronounce swiss words and pretend they are right. Thus, myself I have to keep a better standard and try my best to pronounce foreign words precisely.
By the way. Let's get in touch via Instagram. @DjemoGraphic
Finally, an honest review about Brunei that doesn't revolve around hate
Hi. Thank you. I just share my good travel experience I had. I enjoyed Brunei and I will come back :)
true, i noticed lots of hate towards brunei not sure why? Ive been to brunei and surprisingly I kinda enjoyed your country. It has lots to offer you just need to watch youtubers like this with better guides and reviews. there is no such country i find boring, it is entirely you who makes it fun and memorable.

Amazing, FOUR TIMES?? 🤩 well i must have seen you somewhere while you were here 😂thank you for this lovely video ! 💛🇧🇳
Hi. The story is interesting! The first 3 trips all happened in 2013 :)
1st time: Transit 4h from Manila to go to KK. My KK friend's friends from Brunei were touring me around. That was during Ramadan 2013
2nd time: Returning from Kuching and then visiting my friend in Limbang. I joined my Bruneian friends for berbuka puasa and then went to Limbang
3rd time: Transit to Limbang. Again got a little bit around
4th time: That was in 2018, I went to Brunei for 5 days to finally get to see more of the country!
If you are looking for a place of entertainment or shopping, Brunei probably not the best for it. But if you're are looking for peace, new adventure, nature and culture exploration please come to Brunei. Our foods are cheap too. Worry not
Yup agree. Well, I don't travel for shopping anyway, so Brunei was perfect for me hehe :)
Nice, thanks for the good review on my country there pal. Appreciate it. Switzerland's amazing too, been there once. There's always beautiful magical places everywhere if we just know where to look at. Subbed right away!

As a Bruneian my whole life, I can say that Brunei is fun for people who are really interested in forests, but to be honest, it's really boring. We are a small nation, that means we have limited land, meaning that we have little attractions. For me, it's so boring, I'm actually planning to move out the small kingdom, as I see little to no opportunity here for me and because I have no sense of belonging and patriotism to this nation. For tourists, I can say with some honesty that you will have some fun. If you plan to live here, then I suggest that you reconsider. There might be a small gem her in this nation, but I want to spend my life seeing and finding bigger gems, like those in Japan, Korea, America or anywhere. My comment is not to be taken seriously, as it is just my opinion. Thank you for taking the time to read a comment that came from a Bruneian.
I'm also bruneian and I agree with your opinions regarding this country. There really isn't much opportunity here especially when it comes to entertainment like art, music and etc. I'm actually very curious and keen to learn about our culture but it's really not an easy thing to do since most of our culture or history approximately during 14th-17th century were not properly preserve or not preserved at all.
However, I must admit that I am kind of proud now to see people trying to change that. I've seen locals trying to make a film, music ,businesses and etc. Even though, we're moving slowly I still appericiate the effort.
I and my partner will be traveling to Brunei this coming July 2020, dunno if the current situation will permit owing to the global pandemic.
Hi. These days it is very hard to predict how the global travel business is going to change and normalize in the next few months. I assume till end 2020 nothing will be as it used to be in 2019. But I am optimistic for 2021. I hope you will be still going to Brunei and have a great time with your partner.
DjemoGraphic we already decided to cancel out flight sir. The travel restrictions remain. Sucks big time but maybe next time.
@@zadeeqmg5921 Oh no. That's sad to hear, although it was sort of expected with this pandemic still being very present. I hope you can rebook your trip in the future.
DjemoGraphic will keep u posted when we’re back in the skies and have a sidetrip to Brunei. Thanks!
Brunei is not boring country..You are right, a lot of interesting places..i been to yayasan complex, to that 2 golden mosque and Temburong..no polution, no traffic at all and a very peaceful country.
Yup! Brunei is really nice. I agree, it's peaceful. Myself I come from Kampung, thus I know what is the benefit of living in a hassle-free environment. Vibes I got to feel in Brunei. Now that you mention it, I most probably did love Brunei also because it gives me that vibes I get from my hometown. Serene and beautiful :)
Very nice country & unique. On one side dry area with amazing golden Mosque & the other side, wet
area with the river and floating area.
Fazit: Brunei is not boring 😉

Well, even if its from your 1st ever youtube video but it looks good tho 👍🏻 And I couldn’t agree with you more about the sunset. I really miss the sunset in Brunei. Oh bytheway, did you tried our traditional food last time, ambuyat? Oh and I just followed you on instagram, nice posts.
@@raizuhyun Yes. My friend took me to have Ambuyat. It was very nice. The sambal is fermented is it? It tasted like it. Lovely dish. I heard it's native to Brunei and Sabah :D Thanks a lot for following me on IG. Really happy to hear that. And yeah, I also miss Brunei, especially the sunsets. Semoga boleh balik tahun hadapan.
DjemoGraphic thats nice you’ve tried. How do you like it? Anyway Im not quite sure tho, but I think yes its fermented..true, its native to Brunei and Sabah and I think Sarawak as well. Oh yes to me Brunei has the best sunsets ever. Can’t wait to be home again. Oh most definitely you can come again next year 😃
d only rich things of brunei is the rate of unemployment - foreign workers gets wealthy, locals gets dust as payment
One of the factor that affected this, is that the youth are not interested to work hard in the private sector. They are waiting for a position in the public sector with great benefit.
Even if they work in the private sector, most youth would just quit when the demand of work is increase. They expect high salary and low job scope.
Most youth of Brunei are not like this, but still it is hard for them to look for work due those incompetent local are also in the market for a job they might quit from months later.
I just love the fact that you pronounced "Brunei" correctly.

Glad that you like our country peace♥️
Hi Mila. Yeah, I really enjoyed Brunei. I hope to come back for a 5th time :)
what about the foods?I would love to know n try....
Hi. Yeah, the footage I used was from 2 years ago, thus I did not take much about food. But what I can recommend is to try "Ambuyat". It's a speciality from Brunei and Sabah Malaysia. It's made of sago flour and you dip it into a special kind of sambal (chili paste) that I found tasted a little bit fermented. It was very nice. Near the Jerudong Park is a very large food court, where you can eat local and international delicacies. One of my local friends explained me that Bruneians often eat at home, thus, the street food culture is not as important as you may know it from other countries.
Thank you for the honest review on our country. When u try the "ambuyat" you must go to Tutong District where they have an old factory on how to produce the sago
My impressions of Brunei and the Capital BSB, is that it is both boring, pristine and beautiful. I too struggled with the Sharia law and some elements of what appeared to be a very patriarchal society. None the less I met a very lovely intelligent lady, a HJH (I hope I got that right) Siah Ahmat, who was very welcoming in to her extended family who mostly resided in the oil town of Kuala Belait. I struggled a bit with the opulent life style and was extremely envious of the 50c per litre gasoline when we were paying $1.50+ per litre in the west. The Islamic religion and all its rituals were a bit daunting to a lapsed Christian, yet the modern and bejewelled dress sense of the ladies was a far cry from the drab burkah styles in the middle eastern arabic countries. All up Brunei is a lovely tropical jungle oasis on the main SE-Asian Borneo Island, and a must see for all types of travellers.
thanks for coming brunei. comes again and i will bring you to our restaurant!
Hi Khairul. Sama2, I have enjoyed a lot. Yeah foodie wise I have to admit I was not doing enough research hehe. But my friend took me to have Ambuyat at least. I'd be honored to be shown around by you, especially learning more about Bruneian foodie culture.
Thank you for beautiful and positive view

Hi there! I'm intrested in visiting this country in the near future.
Is it easy to get a visa?
What is their official language?
Do they speak english?
Is it safe to be there if you are by yourself?
Thanks.
Hi Lusi. You should visit Brunei. It's good for 2-4 days for visit. It depends which country you are from. I think you can get a visa issued in any ASEAN country. Probably Thailand, Malaysia or Singapore. The official languages are Malay and English. Thus, it's going to be very easy to roam around. Brunei is furthermore very safe.
@@DjemoGraphic thank you!
If you a in brunei..you wil be surprised with their english speaking ability. Just roam around and ask the friendly people of brunei....they will smile at you.....😊😊😊🤗🤗🤗
@@ariffingarif579 Yeah. Bruneians are good at english! I can confirm that!
Yes Brunei has many beautiful nature reserves and waterfronts. It is a very safe country. It also has a variety of delicious local and international food at very reasonable prices. However, if a person is looking for shopping and nightlife, the shopping is nothing to shout about and since it is a Muslim country alcohol is not permitted. However, any person can easily cross over to Limbang, a border town of Malaysia towards the East of Brunei for nightlife activities. Alternatively, cross into Miri, a border town of Malaysia besides the West of Brunei. Enjoy 👍😊
Yeah I agree. Brunei is more about the nature and then also the mosques. It's not the kind of country you would travel to for shopping. In fact all my Bruneian friends would go to KK or BKK for that. And Limbang is nice too. I have been there in 2013. Are you from Malaysia or Brunei. Your name suggests you are Hokkien.
I am from Singapore. I have the privilege to be in Brunei on numerous occasions :)
@@desmondng4290 I assume you went there also for military training. I used to live in Singapore for 5.5 years, and many of my friends told me they went to Brunei during National Service.
@@DjemoGraphic Not me. I went there for business :)
@@desmondng4290 Oh, okay hehe.
As a Bruneian , i used to think Brunei is boring... but the more countries i visited. Till date 16 of them. I realised...its all the same.... the longer you stay in a country you feels bored.
But Brunei have a smaller market in Shopping sector toh. Thats the real truth. So for those who only travel to shop. BRUNEI is not the country Yet.
But for Mosques visits and natural forest hiking or ATV riding, beaches and snorkel/diving, visiting local culture at the Old village(kampung Ayer) , riding speed boat for mangrive forest tour for sceneries, Brunei is still good to visit.
I agree. Brunei is not the place for shopping, but it's AMAZING for jungle trekking and the mosques are stunning. Especially the mangrove forest and Ulu temburong are places that I miss greatly.
Djemi hope you can come visit our country again.. If i have time i will bring you to visit our hiking places.. We have lot of that places.
For your info our new bridge to temburong is almost done.. Now people in brunei can use that bridge temporary due to covid 19.

Hey Djemo, really loved the review style and glad you enjoyed your time here. Brunei is definitely one of the lesser known places in Southeast Asia and think you summed up the essentials quite nicely. Keep it up with travel vlogs! 👌🏽
Hi Badi. Thank you so much for your nice comment. Yeah, I really enjoyed Brunei. It is well known, just not for traveling. Semoga boleh balik ke lima :)
I agree, this video style is very comfortable to watch.
@@muhammadalfatih2640 Thank you very much :) Happy to hear that!
Hey! Just a reminder. Brunei open border so If you want to visit you're more than welcome!
Hi Basil. I hope to revisit some day again. There is more to explore!😊
I'm bruneian but never been to ulu temburong 😂...Yes Brunei is beautiful country....If you looking for peaceful situation, Brunei is perfect for y'all to come.
For me, today is my first time going to Temburong😂
Hope you enjoyed!
thnks for d video i like it.. 🇧🇳🇧🇳 Love Brunei Darussalam 🥰🥰
Hi Zuhailie. I am most happy to have produced this video. It was so nice to do vacation in Brunei. Especially my last trip was really great. I really miss Brunei. Semoga boleh balik Brunei di tahun hadapan :) Much love from Switzerland to Brunei ;)
@@DjemoGraphic yeahh.. waah boleh speak malay lah 😁😁🥳 awesomee
@@MohammadZuhailie Ya. Boleh :) Hehe. Belajar bila tinggal di Singapura
yeahh awesome hehehe 😁😁
With a right guide no place is boring! But honestly I was quite surprised to hear that somebody thinks that Brunei 🇧🇳 is boring. It always seemed to me to be a nice (maybe quite but still nice) and picturesque place.
Thanks you Daniel. I am trying my best to make a place appear in its best light :)
DjemoGraphic You always manage to present us all the places in their bests. That’s great!
@@utnapisztim I have to. And yeah... Brunei really has that label of being boring among Asians. That's why I am trying to clear up with that rumour.
@Dani Sta As a Bruneian myself, im actually not surprised that people would say that. It's just that they are so clueless of where to go and what to do here. Which I couldn't quite blame them, especially if they came here on friday instead of the weekend. I just hope that Brunei has more to offer to change their minds.
APEX BerZerKer I have never been there but to me it seems to be an interesting place but it all depends on the person. If someone is looking some crazy party life maybe it’s not a right place but if someone is looking to visit some beautiful places it can be the place. We find (or don’t) this what we are looking for. Sometimes we can be really surprised. Good to have Djemo opening for us some doors...
Thank you for coming to Brunei~ come again soon💐
Hi. Most welcome. I really enjoyed my trip to Brunei, was very nice! I hope to come again. Semoga boleh balik tahun hadapan.
Ahh I can’t wait to go to Brunei 😍 #InARelationshipWithABruneian
:) Hopefully the pandemic will be over soon and you can go there. I already miss Brunei...
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR VISITING OUR COUNTRY 😊👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Selamat pagi Mohammad. Sama2, semoga saya boleh balik ke Brunei selepas Corona, mungkin tahun hadapan.
I love Brunei from Malaysia
Aku cinta both. Brunei dan Malaysia! Selamat petang dari Switzerland!
Oh! I followed you on IG a while back! Nice to see a new video on Brunei!
Hi Milla. Happy to hear that. Thank you so much :) It was my pleasure to do a new video about Brunei.
Brunei is actually adventurous
Hi Tendo. I totally agree with you :)
Terimakaseh kerana suka Brunei Darussalam....😍
:) Sama2 My pleasure!
Thanks for the review 👍🏼nice video
Hi. I am most glad to share my review about Brunei. This is really how I felt and I really enjoyed my trip. However, the first 3 trips, I did not get to see enough. But after my 4th trip, on which I really got to see a lot more, I got convinced that Brunei is VERY underrated and deserves more attention :) I hope to come back again!
Thank you for visiting 🇧🇳. Next trip visit Labi
Hii Sama2. It was my pleasure to come to Brunei. Semoga boleh balik di tahun hadapan :)
Thanks for your vacation in Brunei 😁😁😁
Sama2 abang Jugul Awang. Saya rasa sangat gembira bila bercuti di Brunei. Semoga boleh balik Brunei tahun hadapan. Sila stay sihat :) Brunei almost soon free of Corona :)
Who said Brunei is such a boring country?? To me.. Not at all coz it's cool, good people nice food n country. I ve Been there many times and I m still love to travel 2 Brunei. Esp the mosques in Brunei.. Though it is small country actually there r so many things u can xplore in Brunei esp for traveller ..learn the culture, the food.. Brunei is fantastic.. luv Brunei.. from KL
Yeah. I agree with you. Many people say it's boring to travel to Brunei because the tourism there has for a long time not been a priority of the country. Once you know how to travel Brunei you will love it. That's why I will go there again :)
YES Brunei is boring, poor transportation system (both public and private), poor education system, hidden economic Crisis, poor tourism, mass unemployment(due to cronyism and nepotism) and mismanagement of the government.
@Elman RUclips yes I'm not joking
@Elman RUclips please im begging you Brunei is NOT worth your shot to visit.
Brunei is only boring if you don’t know where to go. Everytime I “balik kampung” there are always thing to keep me occupy.
Hi. Yeah, Brunei is very underrated. I really can't wait to come back to Brunei. I always very much enjoyed my visits. And it's definitely NOT boring :)
I'm impressed that you'd visited my country for four times. Nice unbiased review and colourful video. The way you pronounced "Brunei" was perfect. I've never been to Switzerland (I'm a nature lover), but the neighbouring countries of Swiss. Subscribe!
Hi Abid. Terima kasih untuk nice comment. Really happy to hear that from you :) Yes, in 2013 I have been 3x to Brunei. I also went to Limbang hehe. But the longest holiday I had was my last one in 2018. Semoga boleh balik Brunei di tahun hapadan.
thank you for your positive review !! i’m super glad you enjoyed your trip here :D im bruneian myself so feel free to come back !! stay safe btw !!
Hi. Thank you so much. Yeah, it's my pleasure to come again to Brunei. I surely will record another and better video :) Can't wait balik Brunei tahun hadapan.
DjemoGraphic anytime !! and woah really shocked me there with the malay :0 great job !!
@@sharkobama Hehe. I took 2 malay classes in Singapore (2x 12 weeks). Jadi boleh cakap bahasa melayu. Pre-intermediate level.
DjemoGraphic wowww nice !!
The people who sad brunei boring,that mean he is not a traveler
A lot of people think Brunei is only the Omar Ali Saifuddien mosque and that's it. But there is a lot more. Before traveling it's always a great idea to do some research :) That's why I came to the conclusion that Brunei is great :)
You nailed it!! Captured the daily life view of majority bruneians. 👍👍👍
Hiii :) Most welcome! It was my pleasure to produce this video and share my honest positive review. I am looking forward to come back to Brunei :)
i love ur video. because of it size, brunei is really unique for travellers. hav u visited the waterfall, that was only few minutes from the capital? travellers dont hav to go deep into the jungle to enjoy nature. i think that a big plus 😄
Hi Mos Ismail. Thank you so much for your nice comment :D ! I went to a mini waterfall in Ulu Temburong. Where is the waterfall that you meant? I am really curious now. On my next trip to Brunei I will try to film it. In fact, there's a lot more to discover about Brunei. It's a small country. I am from Switzerland, we are small too. I lived in Singapore, it's even smaller than Switzerland and Brunei hehe.
it's in tasek lama, in bandar. people go there everyday, any time of the day (except at night) for recreational activities. its so relaxing if u just want to enjoy the waterfall.
@@muizwafa Ok Cool! Thank you so much.
Brunei make me apart of your beautiful ❤️ country sending love from Australia ❤️
Hi Robert. It's really worth to visit. For 2-4 days.
@@DjemoGraphic thanks for your information WoW 2-4days not long Would I see all I need to see in that time
Not bad buddy brunei never fails to amaze us all as always. Even in youtube. Hahaha
Thank you Farell ;) Indeed, Brunei is better than people think!
Farell Salvador thank you for your last review about Brunei bro. U know bro when many people talked badly about your country (esp during that period when u made ur review the environment was toxic), when watching your review, i was touched that you kept insisting Brunei was not Boring. It really helped emotionally. That was what I really needed the most during that period, a positive reinforcement. When the whole world abandoned us, you were one of the few voices that was willing to go into opposite direction. I dont know you personally but because of your video it always feels like you are a friend Ive always personally known my entire life. I might ve never met you but I dont think I will ever forget you because Im forever grateful. Tq like a million times.
I am a bruneian and yes, I think Brunei is boring. There is not much things to do anymore, but after this quarantine, I feel like that boredom is gone because I had been staying at home for 3 months
I guess it's common that we people always think the things that we don't have are achievable to visit. But I think now after the quarantine we all have the chance to explore our own place more. Have you been to Ulu Temburong already?
@@DjemoGraphic I did with my friends. It was more like in the forest rather than at the resort. I didn't stay at the resort but it was the best. One time experience
@@afriend5107 I agree. My trip to Temburong was one of the best activities I did on travels. I want to stay overnight to go up to the spire for sunrise and see the mist :)
much respect for your pronunciation 💯
Hey Syafi. Thank you very much for the approval. Happy to hear that from a native melayu speaker.
Thank you and we (Bruneian) hope you come to visit Brunei again and review on our traditional food if that possible when the pandemic is over.
Hi Aki. Thank you so much for your nice comment. I did try Ambuyat. It was very nice. I will definitely consider trying more local dishes :D Semoga saya boleh balik Brunei tahun hadapan!
@@DjemoGraphic Glad you likes it☺ 👍
@@sina-tibi Sama2
Hey thanks for saying good things about Brunei👍
Hi. I really enjoyed my time in Brunei, so I am sharing my honest opinion. Semoga boleh balik Brunei di 2021 :)
@@DjemoGraphic we look forward to your next visit💪💪💪
