Brunei is actually funny. On many of my pics you'll see Jade with her 2 little friends, the ones we went to visit in Spain, and their parents are Jorge and Sophie, also quite often on our old pics. They were an integral and essential pair of the small party scene we got here, and many a night was spend in their apartment getting utterly wasted.
So the shit started happening here and they packed up as he got a nice offer with his company. In Brunei!
Now shortly after they settled there we are receiving frantic messages from them, saying "Can you fucking believe it!! First it's hard to get any booze over in Yemen, and now when we move here, they do THIS shit!!" Ha ha!
But Brunei is cool. It's about the size of a Lincoln Escalade and the best part is that whichever side you get out of the car, you are right next to very popular tourist destinations like Kota Kinabalu and the rest of Malaysia, Indonesia or the Philippines. And the Sultan knows that. He's running a small village that's located on more oil than Texas. So why should he give a fuck?
He likes to look proper, I don't think anybody will ever get stoned in Brunei or anything close to the treatment people might receive in some Paki village, and he just likes to keep up his appearance and be ... popular. He knows he can easily control it if anybody ever would get it into his head to come up with some silly radical ideas, and until something happens where some Christian lunatic will be sentenced to death for blasphemy, I'm pretty sure I'm right.
It's kind of like the Saudi - Bahrain scenario, just the other way around. If the Saudi's wanna get totally wasted and spend the night with a dozen Ukrainian hookers, as that is what they deeply feel for by their very nature and none of that pray five times a day crap, they just hop over to Bahrain. But for Saudi Arabia as a country it would never allow such a disgusting thing to be known to happen in their own country. They are the keepers of the faith after all.
Fact of the day. Did you know that a liter bottle of Johnnie Walker Black costs 650US$ over in Jeddah?! Cool eh?!
