Nice place Englishman2010.
I went for a couple of nights back in the 80's and it seemed very Chinese in atmosphere.
Had a few beers and a lovely meal in a Chinese restaurant, the ones where there are no windows and open to the street.
Wandered back to the hotel and caught a flight the next day over to a place near to the diving in Sipadan.
It was a nice place, a real lift after working for about a year in Brunei
I've already been warned Brunei is very, very quiet with not a great deal to do and an alcohol prohibition, hence why I want to go into Malaysian Borneo for a few daysOriginally Posted by aposhark

Oh dear, that's not for me then.
What a dull place
I think it is a fairly strict country (similar to middle eastern states) and drinking is not the done thing. Although I was expecting there to be a ban on pork too, but apparantly not, pork can be bought at the butchers/market. I've been told that there are a few Chinese restaurants where beer/wine can be bought illegally and served in a teapotOh dear, that's not for me then.

I have to admit that Brunei is not my idea of a holiday destination, I'm only going there as I already had a flight to Manila planned for April, but my other half had to go to Brunei to see her sister and family. Hence why I am quite keen to escape from Brunei and head into Malaysia with her for a more entertaining time. Fortunately, we'll both be going back to Manila together to enjoy the last few days of my trip.
