From your first visit here in Brunei it was so great but seeing your 2nd visit was even more interesting and what you said made us Bruneian very proud and honoured. Thank you
Such a magical and beautiful video. Bawling my eyes out when the sweet nurse to be recognized you. Memories and friends for life. Great job. Such a gift that they reached out to you. Absolutely lovely people.
We have wanted to visit Brunei and were planning a trip but then COVID happened. Hopefully we get there soon! Looks like an amazing warm and friendly country.
Brunei is the most interesting country for me in ASEAN and I'm Thai. The second most interesting country for me is Indonesia. Glad you guys enjoyed your time there 😁.
@joannegordon471 we did a tour group organized at the airport. When we did the visa, I was solo travelling and so was many other people. Our guide was very funny and very informative.
@joannegordon471 sorry I honestly don't remember. Its been a few years. The staff are very helpful in the airport so you won't struggle we went to the transfer stand to organize a hotel stay but they suggested the tour instead for a number of passengers. Those who decided we did it. We visited the communities on water and saw their fishing and how their homes are. All the palaces of the sultans wives they were absolutely gorgeous and the Mosques honestly stunning.
Hi Josie and Michael 🎎🇦🇺🇦🇺 Brunei darussalam is one of the Member country in Association of South East Asia n Nation and have several tourism related agreements with Asian countries for it's development.I liked your tour video and enjoyed a lot while watching.All the best and Enjoy your tours🎎🇦🇺
I run cold- so I hate the aircon..... but im a weirdo, i do like the air outside of my bed to be cold, and air moving, and then be scrummy warm with heaps of blankets and hot water bottle under the covers!
Hi Miss Josie, First of all, love your vlogs. I am watching your vlogs from the time you visited India. I have a passion for travelling but I wanted to ask like how do you manage your travel expenses, like what is your source of income.
Maybe it’s less visited because of its human rights issues. The law does not criminalize rape against men or spousal rape, and sexual intercourse by a man with his wife is not considered rape as long as she is not younger than 14. The law in this country does not require accessibility or prohibit discrimination against people with disabilities in most public services, including access to buildings, transportation, and communications. Foreign workers, mainly from Indonesia, the Philippines, Bangladesh, and China, are vulnerable to exploitation by human traffickers in Brunei. Traffickers use various methods such as debt-based coercion, non-payment of wages, passport confiscation, and physical abuse to exploit migrant workers. Some female migrants arriving on tourist visas may also be forced into sex trafficking, while trafficking victims in Malaysia or Indonesia may transit through Brunei. Anti-LGBTQI+ laws also increase the risk of extortion and psychological coercion for LGBTQI+ individuals, who are already at higher risk of trafficking. Sexual activity between men is de jure liable to capital punishment, with de facto lesser penalties of imprisonment and whipping applied; sex between women is punishable by caning or imprisonment. The sultanate applied a moratorium on the death penalty in 2019, which was still in effect as of May 2023.[5] The moratorium could be revoked at any time.
Some of the laws are just awful and some of them were passed fairly recently. Uganda is another country changing laws to be worse. I'm not going to support a country that are making laws worse. I get many have laws that are slow to change though and while its not ideal its still not taking steps backward like Brunei have done. However its up to each person to make their own dec ision on whether they want to go somewhere. This is also certainly not just the one religion (islam) that has some horrific laws, some of the worst in Africa are christian countries.
@@muhammadmd2148 Hello friend, hope you’re doing well. Does someone have to actually live in a country to be aware of their human rights violations? Are we to dismiss world leading non profit organisations that have published in-depth publications on these issues? Is anything that I wrote incorrect? If it is, please let me know and I will edit my comment. Or, do you personally not see the issues that I mentioned previously of importance?
@@jasoni4090 you literally copy pasted from Wikipedia. You relate whatever you believe and form in your head to the performance of Brunei tourism industry when you haven't even experienced the reality in Brunei. That is such an irresponsible take on a social issue that you don't fully understand. Quoting excerpts off the internet is just not the right way to go about.
@@muhammadmd2148 then take this opportunity to educate me and whoever else might be reading this comment thread. As someone who clearly lives in Brunei, is aware of the actual human rights conditions of the country, enlighten us on the actual situation.
Brunei are small and unique but misinterpreted and been put the lies by some news outlet by being harmful and dangerous for non muslim that they never been there at the very first place
Move on then.... 🚶 you don't have to agree with islam, but you could be more open minded on other cultures. Josie has said Many times she doesn't agree with Islamic law. However has many great experience in predominantly muslim countries. She gets treated well and with respect. Very hospitable people. There is good and bad everywhere of course.
Reason for people not want to visit Brunei is the same as people who not want to visit Saudi Arabia. Too Islamic and too Syariah, banning almost everything that is going against Islam, that why Brunei Tourism industry is as developing as Saudi Arabia tourism industry. Even Brunei citizen itself are visiting Sarawak at a weekly basis due to them cannot withstand the strict law in Brunei 24/7.
What are u talking about? Im Bruneian and as a true muslim, i am not too concerned about the laws here. That is not the reason why we go to Sarawak every week. The reason is that we just love shopping there because everything is CHEAP. So please do not spread cheap rumours.
Do u know 1 dollar Brunei is equal to 3.50 Malaysian ringgit? Its like more than 3 times. So by the exchange rate Brunei go shopping at Sarawak. Why don't u say if Singaporeans go to Johor (Southern Malaysia) is bcoz they wanna runaway from Singapore law? They go to Malaysia due to exchange rate. Even petrol in Malaysia is cheaper than in Singapore. Thats why they normally filled their car full tank petrol before going back to Singapore. Next time if u dunno u ask. Don't make assumptions.
@@khairunnisadurahman2083 Mostly their comment Bruneian came to Malaysia for shopping and for fun Actually Bruneian also love to go Turkey, London, Singapore , Dubai, Egypt
Hello, the most beautiful trip I advise you to take is to learn about Islam and read the Holy Quran. Life is short, it ends at any time, and we return to our Lord to hold us accountable. Thank you.
It's still stuck in my head TH-camr Drew Brinsky's experience of getting aggressively kicked out a mosque in Brunei despite being very respectful and the authoritarian rule of the government and the monarchy.
Please Google and visit a place called ‘Kuching’, the capital city of East Malaysia. It’s very beautiful and full of cheap and fresh seafoods as well as a lot orang utan 🙉 if you love rainforest, you will love it. As a lot ppl only know west Malaysia side of Malaysia when they visit and didn’t will think about east Malaysia as gonna take a flight to east Malaysia. But from Singapore > Kuching very near which is 1.5 hour flight. Looking forward to see you visit Kuching and you gonna love it ❤
@@abdullatifrashid_atip_9809 how about Eat Malaysia, Kuching city? i dont think so tho. As a lot foreigner will missed out East Malaysia or they might only know Sabah city only for East Malaysia but not capital city, Kuching. too sad :( Kuching have so much nice foods and places to explores.
@@rbgoh8461 kan aku dah kata diorang dah pegi Kuching...try scroll ke bawah cari video diorang yg lama...diorang ni boleh kata hampir semua tempat famous dlm Malaysia diorang dah pegi... KK, KUCHING,KL,JB, PENANG...dll lg Peace dr Tawau ✌️

I was 5 times in Brunei for business and working. Shortest trip was just 2 Days and longes 5 months. I really liked the time there.
Must be a fan on for sleeping! Even if it's not pointed at you, the noise is a must
This HAS to be a boy thing the noise drives me insane! 😂😂
@@josieliftsthingsMy dad would get a headache if the fan was on him too long. I think it depends 🤔
Beautiful Brunei❤❤❤
I visited Brunei on a stop over I had 12 hours. We got a Visa to leave and did a tour of the country it was really a great experience ❤
Did you go through a tour company or plan it yourselves?
