Breunei is quite a small place (pop. 300,000 or so) but there is enough to see to keep you entertained for a few days. As kiwis you dont need a visa for only a small trip which is good. The temperature was a constant 30 degrees C and humidity was very high. They pay no tax in Brunei. </p> <p>The country revolves around the musliem religion (about 70%) which means there are lots of mosques. The sultan is one of the richest men alive so these mosques can be quite spectacular. </p> <p><a href="http://data1.blog.de/blog/m/michaelcordell/img/Brunei-(15).jpg" title="Mosque by night"><img src="http://data1.blog.de/blog/m/michaelcordell/img/Brunei-(15)_small.jpg" border="0" alt="Mosque by night"></a></p> <p>This next one was built by the current sultain and has 29 real 24c gold domes.

They all shit directly into the water then go fishing. Go figure. My advice, dont eat to much fish. Look close and you can see a sky dish on one of the old houses.</p> <p><a href="http://data1.blog.de/blog/m/michaelcordell/img/Brunei---Water-Village-(11).jpg" title="Water village"><img src="http://data1.blog.de/blog/m/michaelcordell/img/Brunei---Water-Village-(11)_small.jpg" border="0" alt="Water village"></a> </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://michaelcordell.blog.co.uk/2005/06/28/brunei_bandar_seri_begawan/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>tag:michaelcordell.blog.co.uk,2005-06-28:/2005/06/28/maidstone/michaelsez2005-06-28T12:03:02+02:002005-06-28T12:09:13+02:00 <p>Welcome to my first post.<br> Ive been in the UK for about 1 month now and have ended up in Maidstone which is about 1 hour south of London. I am in the process of finding work at the moment and also trying to avoid finding work by doing this. Here is a quick introduction to my flat:<br> Off the street past the big red van and green bins, take a sharp right and you are in. Isn’t she a beauty? The block you see is not all ours unfortunately, we only get the back bottom windowless corner.</p> <p><a href="http://data1.blog.de/blog/m/michaelcordell/img/Untitled-1-copy.jpg" title="Intro to the Flat"><img src="http://data1.blog.de/blog/m/michaelcordell/img/Untitled-1-copy_small.jpg" border="0" alt="Intro to the Flat"></a></p> <p>Maidstone is actually quite a nice place to live. Lots of old buildings as you would expect, a river type thing and even a park. </p> <p><a href="http://data1.blog.de/blog/m/michaelcordell/img/Maidstone-(5).JPG" title="Maidstones River"><img src="http://data1.blog.de/blog/m/michaelcordell/img/Maidstone-(5)_small.jpg" border="0" alt="Maidstones River"></a></p> <p>Rach has a job here at the local council so we will be around for at least three months, then we will see where the wind blows us!</p> <p> <small> <a href="http://michaelcordell.blog.co.uk/2005/06/28/maidstone/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>tag:michaelcordell.blog.co.uk,2005-06-27:/2005/06/28/the_start_of_another_great_blog/michaelsez2005-06-28T00:24:54+02:002005-06-28T00:24:54+02:00<p> <small> <a href="http://michaelcordell.blog.co.uk/2005/06/28/the_start_of_another_great_blog/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>
