I was born and currently live in Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei. As Brunei is quite a small country by population, I am also familiar with the nearby towns. There is no club scene in Brunei and sale of alcohol is banned. However, I do eat out and go sightseeing very often. I can answer any questions relating to shopping, dining, places of interests and accommodation in Brunei. Want to know something about Bandar Seri Begawan? Ask Charlieboy88 a question
