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.

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? 🤔

[@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]

Alright respect 🫡 to this youtuber who shows the country the way it is. Thankyou man. Much appreciated

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.

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.

Brunei dollar is equal to Singapore dollar, so it's actually more pricey than Malaysian Ringgit. It's affordable because it's a tax free country 😊
