after one and a half days in Brunei's capitol, B.S.B., your intrepid (& learned) explorer discovers as many interesting facts a person can possibly discover about a place when he breezes through en route to more interesting pastures.

myths:

• Brunei's streets are paved with gold


• public fountains pipe champagne 24-hours a day

facts:

• one of Brunei's princes has a yacht named 'Tits'


• 'Tits' has 2 smaller tenders named 'Nipple I' and 'Nipple II'


• one of Brunei's princes has little to no class


• loads of Filipina domestic help run amok


• i've given up any hopes of losing weight off my corpulent frame

not yet known:

• whereabouts, if any, of the 'loose-moraled' white women that make up the sultan's harem


• my current weight since gaining 30 lbs (14 kg) this summer

the ordinariness of Brunei leaves me as shocked as you. in summary, Brunei looks peculiarly like the country it's sandwiched between, malaysia... except with a different currency and a heap more filipina domestic help.
