A floating village in Brunei
The floating village in Brunei
Yesterday , I have some free time in the afternoon and my friend, O invited me to join him to have a boat ride to see the floating village located in the town center. Before that I invited him for a Japanese lunch near the jetty to the floating village and it turns out to be an excellent lunch with a reasonable price and the taste was excellent. Highly recommendable to the visitors to this sleepy town.
The boat ride for 1 1/2 hours cost us B$50 for two person. The exchange rate is RM2.52 to one B$.
The ride took us far up in the river to watch monkeys but there was non because of the hot weather. The monkey is a special breed with a red nose and they are only available in Brunei.
We circled the floating village which house several schools , a fire station , a polis station and a cultural center. A part of the floating village housed new villas which cost B$300,000 while most parts of it are houses belonging to the fisherman. It was a nice experience to see this special lifestyle.
It was a simple boat ride but it was a real experience .
Namaste.
