I work for a publisher of history books, and spend a lot of my time researching and writing. I write in my spare time too - when I'm not travelling, hiking, camping, skiing or in the pub...

There are a few strange things about arriving in Bandar. The first is that there are very few buses, and getting in to the town from the airport can be quite trying, as taxis are very expensive indeed. The second is that the only cheap place to stay is a youth hostel, huge and with a sports centre attached, which you can't reserve beds in and which may turn you away fro no reason. However, if you do manage to get let in, it only costs ten dollars for three whole nights. Altough if you stay there that long, you must be mad. In the town there are about three things to see. The main mosque, obviously, the water village, and the royal regalia museum. This last is well worth it - the opulence is incredible. You have to work quite hard to not be bored in Brunei- but it is possible!
