Kampung Ayer Bandar Sri Begawan.
 Kampong Ayer, or the Water Village  is an area of Brunei's capital city Bandar Seri Begawan that is situated after the Brunei Bay. 39,000 people live in the Water Village. This represents roughly ten percent of the nation's total population. All of the Water Village buildings are constructed on stilts above the Brunei River. Some people refer to it as the 'Venice of the East'. From a distance the water village looks like a slum. It actually enjoys modern amenities including air conditioning, satellite television, Internet access, plumbing, and electricity. In order to preserve Kampong Ayer as Brunei Darussalam's most valuable heritage, the Government through the District Office has provided it with numerous facilities including foot-bridges, concrete jetties, piped water, electricity supplies telephones, a school, mosques, clinics, a police station and a marine fire station.

Behind, a part of Bandar Sri  Begawan city.  its a Yayasan building where its have a shopping mall, restaurants , food court , amusement park , clothes outlet and many more.

Wooden houses along Kampong Ayer.

Here you can cater a  taxi boat from BND 15$ - BND 30$ . Its depend if you want to have the roof or not. They will give you a tour around Kampong Ayer for 30 - 45 minutes.

The Waterfront is accessible to everyone as it is open 24 hours where public can enjoy sightseeing and take a break at the outdoor cafes offering varieties of drinks and dishes. And in front of it, it have a line of souvenir shops that is much cheaper if compare that in the mall.

Universal Studio Singapore!! Its Awesome Journey!!


Universal Studio Singapore Its An Awesome Journey
The Arrivals
Ini first entree saya.. so masih lg newbies in blogging.Ini adalah ahli keluarga saya yang pergi ke Universal Studio Singapore (USS).kami pergi pada Mac 2012, tp baru nk post.  Kami tinggal di Hotel Frangrance Pearl , murah je hotel tu , 1 Family room hanya SD$80 ,dari sana kami mengambil pakej yg di sediakan oleh agen di hotel yg mengenakan bayaran SD$ 75 utk dewasa dan SD$ 65 utk kanak2, ianya termasuk tiket masuk ke USS dan bas pergi dan balik ke hotel. kami memilih hari Isnin utk masuk ke USS memandang orang tak ramai, dan harga tiket yg lebih murah. Jika pergi pada weekend atau hari cuti, lebih baik beli express tiket dan anda tak perlu beratur tetapi harga nyer lebih mahal..dan gambar yang saya upload ini adalah sebahagian dari trip yang saya pergi, kerana tablet yg di gunakan telah di curi di airport LCCT... sedih nyer  :(
