What surprised me most: No one walks in Brunei, no one seems to do any work. When I stepped out of my hotel I found no one walking in the streets. I found no heavy traffic, no noise, no pollution, no motorbikes. Almost silently people move in their air-conditioned four-wheel-drive cars. No one is walking in the streets. It seems as if the city is deserted. I ascribed this to the heat of the afternoon. But soon found out that night-life is non-existent and in the cool morning hours there is not much activity either. The only people in the streets are tourists and immigrant workers who work in restaurants, in shops, tending the gardens round the mosque. Bruneians are invisible, hidden in their air-conditioned house and cars.
