First impressions of Brunei during Ramadan 🇧🇳

Brunei is better with friends! I'm flying from Malaysia to Brunei Darussalam, and I'm going to show you everything you need to know to have the best first day ever in this highly underrated country. First, we arrive the Brunei airport, to get Brunei dollar from the ATM, get a Brunei sim card, and call a Dart, so we can travel throughout the city. I get picked up by my Dart Driver, and then take a quick tour of the charming Radisson Hotel in Brunei. After that, it's time to meet up with some Chinese Bruneian friends that I met on Instagram. This lovely bunch of people takes me to a Brunei Ramadan Bazaar, where we feast on all their favorite local Bruneian foods. After that, we have a picnic near the Brunei frame, and enjoy the beautiful sounds and views of the Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque, while reviewing all the tasty Brunei eats we bought.

Everyone told me Brunei was boring, but if you’re with good people, everything can be fun and exciting! Do you like the new intro style I’ve been trying out?

[@farzanamukti9858]

You are really a good soul...which reflects in your thought and work❤ #BrentTimm

[@muse919]

Non muslim got nothing to do with islamic law, so i dont get it why non muslims outside of brunei are so against the law as if the are affected/involved by it...

[@BrentTimm]

Yes. That’s why I didn’t comment on the law. I have no opinion.

[@youtubetube469]

​@@BrentTimmyes true brother🤝👍

[@ndzm4722]

Typical ignorant non muslim everywhere, esp in Malaysia it bcm more sickening

[@rain4279]

The propaganda tells them that they are considered as infidels which is false, the zionists have been in control of the west and the media for decades brainwashing everybody into thinking that a state of thievs and murdereds are the best moral state in the world while they are genociding the native people of palestine, while at the same time they made people believe that muslims are the issue for any problem they create.

[@EGO0808]

So why are all Malaysian muslims supporting Hamas and the Palestinians, if they have nothing to do with them? 🤔

[@olaitsnadia]

FUN FACT ! You can use Singapore dollars (SGD) currency in Brunei ! Yes, you can also use Brunei currency in Singapore😮

[@rinakwok176]

[@Mark923able]

Nasi means rice and katok literally means knock. The story of how this name came about is that people used to have to knock on the nasi seller's doors to make an order. Gradually, the name stuck and now we have one of the most beloved dishes of the country. Love your videos Brent and love to share them with my friends on fb!

[@samwaris908]

[@mosh71]

In general, there is nothing in Islam that prevents non Muslims to visit mosques. in fact, it is something that should be encouraged and made easy. Here in Maldives also there are two mosques that have special timing for non Muslims (i guess for administrative purposes/ one of them is a heritage site). But no other mosque has any such procedure. Just enter. Have a look. Hopefully if you come to Maldives, I will get a chance to show you mosques here and life here.

[@BrentTimm]

Thanks for sharing! This is really interesting

Sepertinya para youtuber harus meniru cara Brent. Setiap berbicara dengan orang-orang, sesekali dia juga mengarahkan kamera ke dirinya. Saya pikir itu adalah cara menghargai.

Puttumayam is made of rice flour. It is pressed into like a string noodle & steamed. In singapore we eat it grated coconut & red sugar. In Malaysia they eat it with brown sugar & grated coconut. Puttumayam originated from south india.

[@AlternatedYt]

The history of Brunei is it was bigger than Malaysia in the 1800's until a British resident a "so called" king of Sarawak or the British resident took Brunei's land Brunei didn't have government yet until a British resident first resident named mcolm mc arthur

That's the very reason I am not buying any roti john. Not even a slightest amount of mince meat existed in those roti john. All just eggs, sauce and mayonnaise for a very expensive price.
