My First Impressions of Brunei 🇧🇳 (A Misunderstood Country?)

Code: JackTorr
Hey everyone! Welcome to our latest video where we take you on an exciting/scary trip to Brunei. This place has been in the news a lot, and we wanted to see what it's really like beyond what everyone talks about. So, we kicked off our adventure wanting to dive into the real Brunei - from its strict laws to its incredible wealth. It's a country that's caught between its rich traditions and some pretty tough rules. But what really blew us away was how friendly and welcoming the people are.

We got to check out the Sultan's massive palace, which is just mind-blowing with all its luxury. But it's not all about the glitz here; we also saw how the country takes care of its people, with free schooling and healthcare, which is pretty awesome. Our journey took us through bustling markets where everything's super cheap, beautiful mosques covered in gold, and even into the lives of the locals who invited us to share a meal with them. It was these moments that really made our trip special.

We also got a peek into the less flashy side of Brunei, visiting a water village and seeing how people live in houses on stilts right over the water. It felt like stepping into a whole different world. This video is all about showing you the real Brunei - from the fancy bits to the simple, everyday life of its people. We're here to share our experiences, the cool places we've seen, the delicious food we've tried, and the amazing people we've met along the way.

So, come along with us as we explore Brunei, see its sights, taste its food, and meet some of the kindest people. It's been an eye-opening trip for us, and we can't wait to share all our stories with you. Thanks for watching, and don't forget to hit that subscribe button for more adventures around the world. Let's keep it real and explore together!

You described Brunei and the reasons why we love it here so well! I'm so proud to be a bruneian. I love how you learned and gave so much information about brunei that not many creators that was here has mentioned. Thank you, I hope you enjoyed and come back again.

Hey Jack, I really enjoyed this tour on Brunei.You we’re very informative and explained everything very well.Have fun🙏💕

Hi Jack! Wonderful introductory vlog about Brunei. If you don't mind, I would like to share some more infos about Brunei.

1. The sultan is not the Education Minister but he is the Defense Minister.
2. Overseas education scholarships are free too if you achieve the required qualifications.
3. We pay zero income tax.
4. Free medical. You pay a dollar to see a doctor for treatment and medicines. If the treatment is not available in Brunei, the government will send you overseas fully subsidized for you and a family member to accompany you.
5. Bandarku Ceria on Sundays is a must.
6. Shariah Law is practiced by countries in Middle East for decades. Since it's implementation here, no one has been amputated or stoned. The complexity of punishing some with Shariah Law is not simple, so Civil Law is still very much impossed.
7. As you can see we live a very simple life. There's no strict rules on clothing as long as you dress appropriately and show respect to others.
8. Bruneians will always go out of their way to help you. Don't be afraid to ask.
9. Going on a guided tour is a good choice and I would recommend it to others.
10. I hope you had a chance to visit Temburong too and explore our jungle.

Safe travels!

Next time, you should go to Seria which is the center of oil and gas industry here in Brunei. Then, you can go to Miri, Malaysia via land border.

Amazing weather you filmed in. If the sun was shining the whole day, the heat would have been unbearable.
