As people from this region ( I am malaysian , from Borneo side) , since young we will always try to avoid getting soak wet under the rain, we believe we will get sick /fever easily because of the rain water....if we are getting wet due to rain, we make sure we take bath as soon as possible to avoid fever...
Bruneian here. I know I'm days late, but, welcome to Brunei. 😆 As a biker in Brunei, we always make jokes about the rain before we go for a ride. Some of us might refuse to ride, while there is always that 1 guy always said 'Why afraid of the rain? Rain is water, water is life'. And off we go. 😁
Thank you for the warm welcome!! We loved our time as we rode through Brunei! We are bummed that we missed the royal wedding! That would have been epic!
Brunei looks magical! I am sorry that Marisa suffered from hypo thermia in the tropics! I had a similar dilemma this year when Tiger Barb and I were traveling back from Quebec (not quite tropical). It was hot, and I got soaked through to my underpants. It was 33°C and I was shivering. I did a full strip down and change in a Dairy Queen parking lot! Live and learn, eh? Stay well. Watch you soon. TC
We definitely realized that getting drenched can still suck even in tropics! Thankfully, I had all of my rain gear on and stayed dry... but now Marisa doesn't risk it!
We have been watching for several months now and are enjoying your videos. You two are such a nice couple and so friendly to everyone you meet.My wife and I would love to find ourselves on a ride with you two. Please stay safe and have more great adventures.
Thank you so much! We are so thankful to have you along for the ride! It would be fantastic if our paths crossed one day! Thanks again for all of the support!
Love you guys. I've read Tim's books and I listen to couple of your lectures in Chicago area. I'm a big fan. You're living the dream and making some of us experiencing our fantasies through your experience. Also - what a great human beings and a wonderful couple you are. Hopefully the universe will gain by getting into the world a few of your offspring.
Wow, thank you! That is the most amazing complement we have ever received!! Thank you so much for the kind words and support! We are living our dreams out day by day, and we are so thankful to have you along for the ride!
Brrrrrrr in Brunei! Who would have thought it possible? What an adventure, what a world to see. A good king can be wonderful for everyone in the country but a bad king can ruin everyone. So far the country looks prosperous and happy so we look forward to more of your exploration. Thanks for letting us ride along, where we are warm and dry.
Thanks for sharing the highs and lows of your epic ride! You're welcome to Peninsular Malaysia, where a joyful ride begins from the tip of Asia, in the State of Johore to the northern states of Malaysia.
We can't wait! We will absolutely be riding through Peninsular Malaysia! We have been having such a blast riding through Borneo, but we know that mainland Malaysia will have plenty of amazing sights as well!
I guess when you have oil in your shore, you don’t need (palm) oil on the ground. Brunei is small, it’s more than enough income to sustain. So what small land and nature they have, it was the right decision to have it be preserved. Which we are glad. For Malaysia, some balance has to be made between income and preserving nature. It’s just the way it is.
Regarding the Mosque being the tallest building - It was the will of the Sultan's late father that no build shall ever be taller than the mosque. This is to ensure that the call for prayer (Azan) could be heard through out the city.
The outfits is called "cara melayu" for male "baju kurong" for female. the first mosque is "jame asr mosque" before you went to the sultan's palace. you should spend more time in Brunei more and get to see "kampong ayer" the water village beside the mall "yayasan complex". We can ride together, i have a BMW r1200gsa but i guess you guys have a schedule for the trip. Anyways thankyou and welcome to Brunei guys. I think you guys missed the celebration of one of the prince wedding ceremony on sunday 14 jan 2024.
We were just being foolish and risky with the rain! There was no real reason for either of us to get as soaked as we did! 🤣 But you won't find Marisa without her rain jacket on from here on out!
I had counter the same experiences riding in insane rain like cat and dog from Brunei to Kota Kinabalu non stop few years ago.. But surely i like riding in rain make you feel cool heheh 😬
I like yellow rambutan and pink greenish rambutan, when it become full red its mushy n watery. Looks like the Bruneian wearing traditional Baju Melayu.
Totally understand and can so relate to how both of you describe about how you felt riding around this region under the weather.. but perhaps we are kinda used to this so at least for me now, whom I ride most trips alone since, is just embrace and laugh about it.. jacket on, jacket off.. jacket in again, jacket off again.. 😂
I used to love rambutans when I was a kid. We had 1 tree beside our kampung house and another in front. Both gave abundance of fruits when in season every time without fail, and after school I would take casual strolls under those trees and simply pluck away a few low hanging ones, sweet and especially refreshing when the day was hot. But many years later, unfortunately the layer between the big pit and the sweet flesh (the skin for the pit), that just got me coughing almost every time! So nowadays whenever I go back and rambutans are in season, I just watch. Else I'd be helping to pick some for visitors etc
KTM also makes a crazy race car!! The KTM X-BOW GT-XR is the closest you can get to a purebred race car in a road-legal vehicle. I would love to test ride one 🤣
Ahhh, didn't know you 2 lovebirds have reached, and left miri. Else I could've taken you out for breakfast! Lol... Riding/driving in brunei... Do you guys know the similarities with that experience between brunei and the UK? 1st is the zig zag lines on the road, did you notice those along the way? We don't have that in malaysia, and when I was in the US many years ago, I didn't see any either. But they have that in the UK! The 1st time I drove into brunei and I saw that, and I joked to my wife, am I supposed to maneuver according to those lines, zig zagging the car onward? Was the road marker guy drunk or high when painting those lines, or maybe he got distracted by a bee or something? 🤪🤪 And the 2nd (and 3rd) similarity is what you guys pointed out, there isn't a single stall by the roadside selling food, for a simple and quick meal like for breakfast or afternoon tea break or late night supper, and no roadside parking for easy stops! That's one of the big differences from malaysian cities and towns, and one of the things we sorely missed while staying in the UK for 1 year last year 😔 But we're already back in malaysia, and it is so simple to go for roti canai etc! 😊👍
🤣 definitely don't ride according to the zig-zag lines! That's hilarious! We didn't spend long in Brunei, and we couldn't even by gas there, but it was pretty to ride through. We are loving our time in this part of the world and can't wait to share everything that we have been up to! And we can't wait to see the zig-zag lines in the UK again! 🤣 That will surely make us laugh!
@@2UpAndOverloadedyou could definitely buy fuel, but only from designated stations, where they have a dedicated pump island just for vehicles not registered in Brunei. I believe if you’d gone to a regular fuel station without a dedicated pump for foreign vehicles, they might close an eye and sell it to you. It’s only a bike, you couldn’t buy much to profit from it. The price of RON97 petrol is only 0.53 Brunei dollars (40 US cents) a litre.
Here is what I will do. Stop at the mall basement. Ask Tim to buy 1 shirt from the mall. You are in the mall, there are clothing shops. Take the new shirt, change it at the toilet, and put on a warm jacket. This will not touch your luggage.
Not a great mistake to make ... its NOT a British colony, but like a large part of the world uses British Common law as the basis of its justice system. Swift, warm recovery Narisa xx

@2UpAndOverloaded rambut in malay is hair. Not sure how the entire word appreared in literature. Duri in malay is thorn, thus durian the fruit got its name.
@2UpAndOverloaded when I was a small boy, jungle and streams are at the roadside. We used to picnic on the way to other towns. That was how malaysia was until 1. Rubber trees were introduced by the British 2. Palm trees were introduced by the French.
Their gear is awesome... We have the breathable mesh jackets for the Southeast Asian heat that is not GoreTex, but we can report that the rain gear only works well when you wear it! 🤣
