A new chapter unfolds for my personal and professional life. I am now here in Brunei Darussalam to continue my search for a personal legend working as a civil engineer. Life has been comfortable back at home, in the Philippines, but I felt like a fish in a pond. I needed an ocean for growth.
First stop: Brunei.
First impression, a peaceful, laid-back place.
Roads are occupied mostly by private vehicles which means it's going to be hard if I go for public transportation.
Alcohol is banned, both in the sale and in consumption, so it's going to be a quite nightlife for me which is not really a problem.
Foods abound, flavors are truly Asian which are very appealing to my palate.
Weather is warm and humid, not different from the Philippines.
So far my stay in this foreign land is good and I can see I'm going to have a lot of good days in here.
