Thank you guys so much for watching🙏❤ Please watch this video all the way until the end to get the full story. This really was, for better or worse, one of our most weirdly unique and fascinating trips ever. Hope you enjoy the episode AND see you for our next video where we'll reveal country 100!!!
Fascinating video, and I particularly appreciate the warning for sensitive viewers. I had never seen that before, but it does help so please don't hesitate to do it each time something nasty is coming up in your future videos, too. The drums punctuation is hilarious. Your videos are really instructive and fun at the same time. Also, last but not least, I totally agree with your conclusion and I have thought so and lived and explored the world in that exact frame of mind my whole life!
I really enjoy watching about different countries on your channel... especially because you guys at great story tellers, also cause your video quality is so nicee 💯
Thanks for enjoying your stay in my country. About that's air conditioning places... 🤣 I guess it's like that in some commercial areas. Even in my work place they set it on 14. 🤦 This is the first time I see people from that side of the world complained about it. 😅
First of all I appreciate that you had came to Brunei n made a video about our country...but as I said on your comments ...your headline naming Brunei as a "MiNi NORTH Korea" that very disrespectful n rude...as if you saying my country it the same like north Korea?by saying our sultan made his ppl life suffer like what North Korea did to his ppl?as if Bruneian are not allowed to be socialist, oppressing his ppl?? you should change the titles... don't compare my country with a communist country..not meant to be rude but the titles of the videos soo unappropriated
this is the first positive video I saw about Brunei, mostly people are always saying how the sharia law made people afraid to go here and doing research beforehand. Thank you so much guys for visiting my country. I hope you guys can visit again for longer time because its so much to explore!❤️
As someone from south east asia, we know from long ago that Brunei people got many benefits from their goverment such as free education, free healthcare and financial benefit. That's defenitly what every citizen want from their goverment. And with all the benefits, they choose to have life simple and still preserve malay culture and their nature. And you do know the nature still good when you can see bekantan in the wild like that.
@@hills863 local and yes i couldnt agree more it is good actually and im grateful..i just wanna clear the air that theyre not free thats all..initially i myself too thought everything was free..until i started paying my own bills and even more when i became a father 😂 And thank you guys for visiting may you always have great days ahead

@@DrLifeGamer I assume they mean that lots of people don’t have views that are as extreme as the law against homosexuality that was introduced in 2019 for example. So the government passes extreme laws but the people in general just want to accept anyone
I was pleasantly surprised that Brunei would be your 99th country. I returned to Brunei for a short trip home in November after I’ve been away for 4 years. Believe me, I was afraid of having the freedoms I enjoy in the Netherlands taken away from me, and it turns out to be the least of my worries. I hope you two enjoyed your stay in Brunei
As controversial policies in Brunei are, isn't it the same as some islamic countries in the Middle East like Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, etc? (That you guys, AND many westerners have visited) I mean you have a point about Brunei having ultra conservative policies, but the tone of this video since the beginning made it look like Brunei is the first conservative country you guys ever visited. Is it possibly because Brunei being a South-East Asia nation, made it seems to be almost 'abnormal' for it to be this conservative in comparison to its more liberal neighbors. Unlike if it's an Arab nation. Just a thought..
Brunei has the same policies as other Arab or Islamic countries though I would say when it comes to most of even or all of them, we are more lax in comparison.
What the guy said about Islam in Brunei is different is absolutely true. Islam in Brunei has been practiced in a different way by the Sultan so that the loyalty of the people of Brunei towards this new type of religion is always obeyed which is the Melayu Islam Beraja and abbreviated as MIB. If Brunei is truly under Ahli Sunnah Waljamaah sect, and a country that follows Syariah Law, you will not see women exposing their faces and palms on the streets in Brunei. According to Imam Syafie, a woman should not reveal her face and palms whether there is danger of defamation or not.
wow!❤This is one of those videos you created that I love. I'm from the Philippines and have been to more than 20 countries, unfortunately, Brunei is not one of them, to think it's just our neighbour! But because of this video, I'm definitely visiting Brunei next year. :D Can't wait for the 100th country. Take care always, guys!
Like your disclaimer. I use to always tell my students that knowledge is power and not to be one sided and I see you guys are always open to anything and life. That's why I love watching your vids!!
I love that both of you show the beauty of people from every country you visit. There are sweet wonderful people all the world. Love and peace from the United States❤️❤️❤️
As one of the local Bruneian, I'm happy to know that you're having a good time visiting our small country even if it was for a short time. Thank you for coming to Brunei and hope you can come and visit again 😊
@@lenseofanomad hello. Would recommend you to come and visit this month of July, especially on the 15th. Because it will be his Majesty, The Sultan of Brunei Birthday. During that time, you can get the chance to meet and greet with his majesty, try the local food and and experience the local events

Amazing! I'm so impressed that you guys visit countries that I would never dream of going to - thank you for letting us experience everything. Can't wait for country 100. Safe travels always.
I really appreciate your video about my country- Brunei. It was really well videographed 😎 But could you please not compare us to North Korea? We are far from a mini version of that country. As clearly outlined in your video content, our country is a free & welcoming place. Nothing comparable to the unfortunate circumstances faced by those in North Korea, in which we offer our prayers of support to. 😢 Furthermore, to answer your question to excellent driver Faizal during your taxi journey. Is there freedom of religion in Brunei? Definitely my friends! We have about 3 main big catholic churches in Seria, KB and Bandar- and even a Cardinal that sadly passed away recently. We also have a big main buddhist temple in Bandar, one in KB and a hindu temple in Seria often attended to by the hindu community & the Ghurka soldiers who are employed under the British Armed Forces that protects Brunei’s border under our treaty agreement. All this land was given generously by the Sultan for everyone to feel welcome in Brunei and to practice their faith comfortably. What you see in the media is completely distorted. It’s quite sad as I left Brunei to study overseas to Australia and was faced with these same questions which puzzled me as it’s farrrr from what is depicted online. Upon returning home, the economy had even improved and I’m so proud of Bruneis progress. Happy to clear up more misinformation if you need 🙏🏼☺️ Take care & a safe journey from us to you! 🇧🇳

All I’ve got to say is wow, Oskar!! Great job with this video. I learned so much about a country I knew nothing about. I can’t wait for country 100!!❤️✈️🎄
Im glad that you guys had a nice and heartwarming people experience in Brunei :D !!! you guys are always welcome in Brunei ty for visiting our country!
The bellman is an old friend of mine. He worked there as long as 35years if im not mistaken. Thank you for choosing our country and gave a positive feedback! We'll welcome you anytime !
Thanks for showing us a place that gets alot of bad press in Australia due to human rights issues. It's great to see you were treated well and the hotel even gave you a King sized bed. It's great to see you respect the people and you be rewarded o. Return
I have to say the tour guide is very knowledgeable and quite articulate in his communication skill. Excellent tour guide i must say. Great job bro👍 and for the transportation issue.. Brunei actually has its own Uber app known as Dart. Very convenient and cheaper than Taxi. Im surprised you guys didn't know about it. I thought they advertised well at the airport arrival hall & hotels. @Dart..please look into it.🤣
Alhamdulillah and many thank you i must say for this great compliment from you and many others too! I wish every tourist feels safe, happy and enjoy of their staying vacation to Brunei. May this 2023 Allah SWT give us all a very good healths, good incomes(more rezeki), great happiness, a good safety to each and everyone else, more prosperity and blessing life to we all.

You know to be honest. I ve been to Brunei last November 2022. One thing I like about the country is that its quiet, hospitable people and peaceful. Yes there is a strict law in there and as long as you follow those rules, there will be no problems. Note, I been dreaming working here at Brunei and I hope someday I will be hired.
What he said is right. Sharia is very hard to implement because of the criteria, the severe punishments if proven only serves as a way to deter people from engaging in sinful activities…
yes it is true, In Indonesia only one province implements that yet still most cases went to civil court because it is extremely difficult to follow those Sharia court requirement 100%
@@ilhamrj2599It is true only one province “officially” allows sharia law, but what about non-official sharia laws in the rest of the country, what about the adultery laws in the new criminal code. It is time as Indonesians we unite and at least try to remove corporal punishment / private canings in the Aceh province, bcs it violates Indonesian national law within UNCAT that does not allow corporal punishments at all. It is time.
Hello! As a bruneian, Some people in my class says that they are "gay" Which is okay if they are just saying it for a joke, but when they take it seriously is a next level, Every year, The Sultan gave 1000 dollars to the people who got lucky and happens to be having no dad ( It is called "Anak Yatim" ) And not gonna lie, I do like living in Brunei it is a very beautiful country, And I have learned that Brunei has a surprisingly History *Takes out a social studies textbook* How was the kingdom of brunei founded? Thousands of years ago, people travelled by sea and sailed to Borneo on canoes and rafts. They brought with them new kinds if food, tools weapons and skills such as pottery and weaving These people settled in Borneo and lived in villages. Then, they built the first kingdom in Borneo. Some of the settlerd lived near the mouth of the Brunei River and built an ancient kindom. This kingdom had many names given to it by people from different parts of the world. A chinese called Brunei Po'li or Po'ni. A Javanese trader called Brunei Buruneng. A arabic trader called Brunei Sribuza 10 likes = part 2
Thank you for coming and visiting Brunei ...i can see you have enjoyed you stay. Thank you for you positive coming. I suggest you guy to come again but this during Hari Raya because at time i visit Royal Palace and meet the Royal Families. All visitors will be serve with delicious food...
I enjoyed watching this! Thank you for coming and hope you guys would come again if there's an opportunity 😁 P.S. That "slay" part got me whenever a rainbow is seen 🤣🤣
Woah can’t believe Dan went here, I remembered watching his airline review videos before I was busy with life lol. Glad you guys enjoyed your stay here 🤍
Thank you for this wonderful video. We are also planning on going to Brunei. Can you provide the contact details of your driver/guide during the 1st day? We also want to book his services. Thank you.
Hi,I am Brunei an people,thanks for visiting our country,and yes you say it right "Bandar Seri Begawan", there's a lot you can learn from our country,you guys are the best,i hope your age will get up more,so you can visit any other country! Alright that's all bye!Oh I forgot there's a lot of friendly people's too!Great Video!Happy Holidays!!
Most shots of proboscis monkeys I've seen in a Brunei travel blog; I'm equally fascinated because I've never seen one myself (as a Bruneian) 😂 Well done you guys were super lucky!
fun fact: 50 years ago, there's no crocodile in the water village. People can swim there. the wooden house is getting old. and the house stand/pole to support the house, is made from wood, it can fall if didn't fix. no one dare to fix the house stand under water nowadays, cuz there's crocodiles. that's why they build modern house using cement. that's why u can see some house pole is made from cement
The video is so clear. What camera are using? I'm going to Brunie this Monday. This clip is really helpful. The room seems small though, Wonder if they can add an extra bed.
So basically...i was born in Brunei because my family was out here working, however i am fully completely British. i have recently in the last two years moved back to Brunei and have found it more of a home than the uk ever was. It's an amazing country with many great people here and i would love to stay but Sandy am moving back to the uk this summer ☹️.
You are welcome to come which you call home.. Bring a business, and you own a family oriented country.. We welcome foreigners to stay and bring positivity and business here
So quick question ? Why do most brunei lives overseas instead of brunei despite having that much wealth. I even heard everything is paid by the government if you are brunei
I think because since the countries wealth is mostly oil and that'll run out eventually, soo people move because of that. But then also because there's not many things to do here in terms of entertainment, you can go over the boarder to Miri in Malaysia witch has some more things to do (i haven't been much 😅)
In brunei we do have an application which is the “Dart Rider” it is basically an application to find a taxi online which is more flexible where you can choose ur type of vehicle and what time you want to be picked up so yeah other than thank you for coming to brunei🇧🇳
You deserve a lot of likes to be honest because u actually made me so happy because u show my country to people and the good places and i also like how he made us all so happy and we have joy just by watching hes video😄
@@travelmoreworkless I always wanted to but it would be quite exppensive (the 250$ tax you pay for every day you spend there) and it seems tricky geting there in the first place. What flights did you need to take to get to Bhutan ?
@@krunoslavkovacec1842 Druk Air but I was living in Singapore so easy. It is expensive but the $250 (I think it is now 300) goes to accomodation, guide etc.
I went to medical school in the '90's with second cousin to Sultan of Brunei Hishammarudin Barrarudin who is now a public health doctor in Singapore - If you're venturing back there I could help with his contacts ? Great review Guys !
The video is awesome, but the disclaimer... wow, guys, so wise, so respectful, so sweet of you. Congrats for country 99! Can't wait for the big 100 day!
Brunei is still okay. Not as conservative as Saudi Arabia. Many expats living in Brunei. And it is Southeast Asia anyway, we are "open" people, we are not hostile towards western people. If you notice, there is almost noone wearing mask there. It is in contrast in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore. Some people are still going to remind you to wear your mask.
there is actually so much more to see compared to the old town area you guys were in. Unfortunately Brunei is the type of place where you need a local to actually show you around since the more interesting parts are usually in people's houses or small business enclaves away from the public (and government's eye).
You guy miss to visit oil and gas in kuala belait... Next trip you should visit kuala belait and other district too hihi... you re always welcome to our country
Damn, I missed your video highlighting MY COUNTRY. I started following your channel after you posted the Saudi Arabia episode. You guys have an interesting view on the world given the polarity and animosity we see in the world every day. Thank you for visiting and presenting an unbiased view from Westerners' perspective.
Theres actually a lovely park with a waterfall just walking distance from ur hotel, definitely worth a mention in any video. Gorgeous waterfall right in the middle of Bandar(town).
Hi I am from Brunei I am from this country and I love this country because their hotels here are so amazing and my favorite part about all of the hotels are the swimming pools that are so beautiful my favorite one in Brunei is Polo

I’m also in brunei for 7 years it’s kinda nice by the way I didn’t notice they are near at my school AND DID HE JUST WENT TO MY FAV RESTAURANT ON 18:00
You're right about people being people. When traveling we always long for human connection. I think you handled some of the political/ social points effectively with subtlety. Also....I think I know what country 100 will be.
Brunei is essentially the Asian version of Saudi Arabia… Absolute monarchy, apparent non existent LGBT+ community, sharia law, natural resources completely controlled by the monarchy, but the general population are very open and welcoming, which makes all the above somewhat more tolerable.

The bellman is an old friend of mine. He worked there as long as 35years if im not mistaken. Thank you for choosing our country and gave a positive feedback! We'll welcome you anytime !
Thanks for showing us a place that gets alot of bad press in Australia due to human rights issues. It's great to see you were treated well and the hotel even gave you a King sized bed. It's great to see you respect the people and you be rewarded o. Return
I have to say the tour guide is very knowledgeable and quite articulate in his communication skill. Excellent tour guide i must say. Great job bro👍 and for the transportation issue.. Brunei actually has its own Uber app known as Dart. Very convenient and cheaper than Taxi. Im surprised you guys didn't know about it. I thought they advertised well at the airport arrival hall & hotels. @Dart..please look into it.🤣
Yes...fascinating and forthcoming....and so knowledgeable!
Alhamdulillah and many thank you i must say for this great compliment from you and many others too!
I wish every tourist feels safe, happy and enjoy of their staying vacation to Brunei.
May this 2023 Allah SWT give us all a very good healths, good incomes(more rezeki), great happiness, a good safety to each and everyone else, more prosperity and blessing life to we all.
Salam and Selawat to our Prophet Muhamad SAW.
May all live in good life and safe!

You know to be honest. I ve been to Brunei last November 2022. One thing I like about the country is that its quiet, hospitable people and peaceful. Yes there is a strict law in there and as long as you follow those rules, there will be no problems. Note, I been dreaming working here at Brunei and I hope someday I will be hired.
very cultured vloggers! first video watched, already loved it! subscribing and looking forward for your future milestones!
Could you please put Sandra's contact info in the description? The jungle boat tour looks AMAZING! Congrats on country 99
Yes sorry it's added now!! And here it is for your convenience😄 +673 872 8993
omg another great video! keep on posting!!
What he said is right. Sharia is very hard to implement because of the criteria, the severe punishments if proven only serves as a way to deter people from engaging in sinful activities…
yes it is true, In Indonesia only one province implements that yet still most cases went to civil court because it is extremely difficult to follow those Sharia court requirement 100%
@@ilhamrj2599It is true only one province “officially” allows sharia law, but what about non-official sharia laws in the rest of the country, what about the adultery laws in the new criminal code. It is time as Indonesians we unite and at least try to remove corporal punishment / private canings in the Aceh province, bcs it violates Indonesian national law within UNCAT that does not allow corporal punishments at all. It is time.
Such a wonderful trip and such a wonderful message. Thank you Oscar and Dan. We love you!
Brunei is generally safe, just don’t do anything that might upset them.
like gay parade?
@@Jirixyes
Thank you for stopping by in Brunei! Im glad you guys had a great time here! Much love! ❤
Hello! As a bruneian, Some people in my class says that they are "gay" Which is okay if they are just
saying it for a joke, but when they take it seriously is a next level, Every year, The Sultan gave 1000 dollars to the people who got lucky and happens to be having no dad ( It is called "Anak Yatim" ) And not gonna lie, I do like living in Brunei it is a very beautiful country, And I have learned that Brunei has a surprisingly History
*Takes out a social studies textbook*
How was the kingdom of brunei founded?
Thousands of years ago, people travelled by sea and sailed to Borneo on canoes and rafts. They brought with them new kinds if food, tools weapons and skills such as pottery and weaving
These people settled in Borneo and lived in villages. Then, they built the first kingdom in Borneo. Some of the settlerd lived near the mouth of the Brunei River and built an ancient kindom.
This kingdom had many names given to it by people from different parts of the world. A chinese called Brunei Po'li or Po'ni. A Javanese trader called Brunei Buruneng. A arabic trader called Brunei Sribuza
10 likes = part 2
Im also a Bruneian! And my best friend Amanda is in Anak Yatim because her dad passed away when she was 4 yrs old.
Edit: the things you said are true!
Loved it 🎉though I was very surprised with this choice destination and sceptical 🤨
So glad you have decided to show us Brunei 🇧🇳
Sabrina🇫🇷🇬🇧
Thank you for coming and visiting Brunei ...i can see you have enjoyed you stay. Thank you for you positive coming. I suggest you guy to come again but this during Hari Raya because at time i visit Royal Palace and meet the Royal Families. All visitors will be serve with delicious food...
I enjoyed watching this! Thank you for coming and hope you guys would come again if there's an opportunity 😁
P.S. That "slay" part got me whenever a rainbow is seen 🤣🤣
Glad you liked that little addition😆🌈
Thanks also when you going to Seychelles islands
Omg, thank you so much!! Hopefully as soon as possible, we can't wait to experience the Seychelles😍
Woah can’t believe Dan went here, I remembered watching his airline review videos before I was busy with life lol. Glad you guys enjoyed your stay here 🤍
Sooo close! Congratulations and love to you beautiful lads!
Thank you for this wonderful video. We are also planning on going to Brunei. Can you provide the contact details of your driver/guide during the 1st day? We also want to book his services. Thank you.
Hi,I am Brunei an people,thanks for visiting our country,and yes you say it right "Bandar Seri Begawan", there's a lot you can learn from our country,you guys are the best,i hope your age will get up more,so you can visit any other country! Alright that's all bye!Oh I forgot there's a lot of friendly people's too!Great Video!Happy Holidays!!
Loved it. Great people and you guys are so respectful. Cannot wait for 100…. Happy Holidays
Most shots of proboscis monkeys I've seen in a Brunei travel blog; I'm equally fascinated because I've never seen one myself (as a Bruneian) 😂 Well done you guys were super lucky!
And thats a fact
If u want to go n see the monkeys, u can do it even without the boats. Just got to Makam Di Luba.
OMG BRUNEI IS MY HOME COUNTRY THANK YOU FOR VISITING BRUNEI(sorry that I talk in caps because my keyboard is broken)
Kepada warga Brunei.... Pedulikan APA mereka nak kata!! Kami warga Malaysia berbangga punya jiran seperti kamu!!
Ye ke? Brunai xda apa2
Terima kasih kamu juga
@@seminky5341 kamu apa tau
@@peakaboo_12338 hahaha ngam...Semenanjung biasalah...minjam duit Brunei saja tau durang...😂😂😂
Theyre learning alot about our country and we are very much welcome everyone here warmly.
fun fact: 50 years ago, there's no crocodile in the water village. People can swim there. the wooden house is getting old. and the house stand/pole to support the house, is made from wood, it can fall if didn't fix. no one dare to fix the house stand under water nowadays, cuz there's crocodiles. that's why they build modern house using cement. that's why u can see some house pole is made from cement
The video is so clear. What camera are using? I'm going to Brunie this Monday. This clip is really helpful. The room seems small though, Wonder if they can add an extra bed.
It's all filmed on iPhone!
So basically...i was born in Brunei because my family was out here working, however i am fully completely British. i have recently in the last two years moved back to Brunei and have found it more of a home than the uk ever was. It's an amazing country with many great people here and i would love to stay but Sandy am moving back to the uk this summer ☹️.
You are welcome to come which you call home.. Bring a business, and you own a family oriented country.. We welcome foreigners to stay and bring positivity and business here
So quick question ? Why do most brunei lives overseas instead of brunei despite having that much wealth. I even heard everything is paid by the government if you are brunei
I think because since the countries wealth is mostly oil and that'll run out eventually, soo people move because of that. But then also because there's not many things to do here in terms of entertainment, you can go over the boarder to Miri in Malaysia witch has some more things to do (i haven't been much 😅)
@@AbdiqanniMHL that's just my... educated guess
@@kasy_sad5874 Cool bruh .... your lucky enough to be bruneian
Omg! You guys were here and I didn’t even know. Darnnnnn. Happy holidays y’all
In brunei we do have an application which is the “Dart Rider” it is basically an application to find a taxi online which is more flexible where you can choose ur type of vehicle and what time you want to be picked up so yeah other than thank you for coming to brunei🇧🇳
Fantastic video. Thanks so much for going!
As a bruneian. Thanks for visiting my country ❤. I have went to the museum it was very fun!
@@zhd_in Ofc no ads
So is Brunei expensive to visit? How long is enough and what are the visa formalities if any for US or EU citizens?
You deserve a lot of likes to be honest because u actually made me so happy because u show my country to people and the good places and i also like how he made us all so happy and we have joy just by watching hes video😄
You guys should definetly go to Bhutan. A small country nested between India and China with incredible views, culture and nature.
yess
Yes I would love to see that!
I have been there and it is amazing, Would also go to Tibet (assuming it open up).
@@travelmoreworkless I always wanted to but it would be quite exppensive (the 250$ tax you pay for every day you spend there) and it seems tricky geting there in the first place. What flights did you need to take to get to Bhutan ?
@@krunoslavkovacec1842 Druk Air but I was living in Singapore so easy. It is expensive but the $250 (I think it is now 300) goes to accomodation, guide etc.
Should definitely use Dart next time. Taxis are very hard to get in Brunei and buses are extremely unreliable (ie the timing schedule).
Nice video of my country. Thanks for coming. 😊
I went to medical school in the '90's with second cousin to Sultan of Brunei Hishammarudin Barrarudin who is now a public health doctor in Singapore - If you're venturing back there I could help with his contacts ? Great review Guys !
The video is awesome, but the disclaimer... wow, guys, so wise, so respectful, so sweet of you. Congrats for country 99! Can't wait for the big 100 day!
Thank you for visiting Brunei Darussalam Oskar and Dan. Stay Safe and Healthy.
Brunei is still okay. Not as conservative as Saudi Arabia. Many expats living in Brunei.
And it is Southeast Asia anyway, we are "open" people, we are not hostile towards western people.
If you notice, there is almost noone wearing mask there. It is in contrast in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore. Some people are still going to remind you to wear your mask.
A lot of us Bruneians still wear masks though
there is actually so much more to see compared to the old town area you guys were in. Unfortunately Brunei is the type of place where you need a local to actually show you around since the more interesting parts are usually in people's houses or small business enclaves away from the public (and government's eye).
You guy miss to visit oil and gas in kuala belait... Next trip you should visit kuala belait and other district too hihi... you re always welcome to our country
Damn, I missed your video highlighting MY COUNTRY. I started following your channel after you posted the Saudi Arabia episode. You guys have an interesting view on the world given the polarity and animosity we see in the world every day. Thank you for visiting and presenting an unbiased view from Westerners' perspective.
Thank you Muhammad!
Theres actually a lovely park with a waterfall just walking distance from ur hotel, definitely worth a mention in any video. Gorgeous waterfall right in the middle of Bandar(town).
Very interesting video! Thank you for sharing!
So cool, never heard of this country before, just about the kings car collection
Hi I am from Brunei I am from this country and I love this country because their hotels here are so amazing and my favorite part about all of the hotels are the swimming pools that are so beautiful my favorite one in Brunei is Polo
Faisal is the MAN ! i was like watching National Geographic. So cool guy
Alhamdulillah and many thank you i must say for this great compliment from you and many others too!
I wish every tourist feels safe, happy and enjoy of their staying vacation to Brunei.

Oh welcome welcome😮 to Brunei I live here
Nice one watching from Jeddah SAUDI ARABIA
Y'all playing with fire rn, goodluck
Awesome video! I’m planning a trip to Brunei next month. How did you find your awesome tour guide?
Ask for Faizal on Viator!
Hello! How did you meet your tourist guide? Will visit Brunei this April.
my lovely country, BRUNEI 🇧🇳❤️
I’m also in brunei for 7 years it’s kinda nice by the way I didn’t notice they are near at my school AND DID HE JUST WENT TO MY FAV RESTAURANT ON 18:00
What an amazing video!!!!!
Best video ever! Tq.
Wonderful sharing
Great video. For the taxi version there is a taxi app called Dart, Not sure if you guys used that but certainly it should work faster and easier.
I love seeing visiting our country. It's quite interesting for me to see them visiting to some places
I discovered you 5 minutes ago..Now you guys are my favourite..you know the reason 😊..
Love from Nepal... Welcome to Nepal 🙏
You're welcome to come back whenever you want!! Bring along your fams and friends too ☺️
What a nice statement at the end. People are people and they are not the government
The boat driver at the mangrove tour wears an IRON MAIDEN Shirt. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Interesting to see they drive on the left in Brunei.
You're right about people being people. When traveling we always long for human connection. I think you handled some of the political/ social points effectively with subtlety.
Also....I think I know what country 100 will be.
Dear Oskar & Dan,
Near yet so far 😭😭😭
When are both of you coming to Malaysia 🇲🇾
Please
Thank you for coming to Brunei Darussalam♥️🇧🇳
Brunei is essentially the Asian version of Saudi Arabia…
Absolute monarchy, apparent non existent LGBT+ community, sharia law, natural resources completely controlled by the monarchy, but the general population are very open and welcoming, which makes all the above somewhat more tolerable.
even many westerner dislike LGBT+ lmao. seriously, even science don't see the benefit in LGBTQ + .
Brunei does have an LGBT+ community but it's not so much to begin with anyway, it's very lax that nobody really gives a care in the world.
@@smileyhehehe "Science" agrees with LGBTs. There might be no "benefit", but these people exist. Regardless if you like it or not.
@@miragebangbravern Unless someone in the community travels to this country and gets punishment...
@@Canleaf08 Which itself will rarely happen if even at all as long you don't make an ass of yourself
Yup, you nailed it guys - people are people! Maximum respect ❤
Please visit Bangladesh before February!
Winter is the best season to visit here.
