Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei Darussalam, August 1, 2010
The last thing I saw in Brunei was the Jame'Asr Hassanil Bolkiah Mosque. I took the bus number 01 (22 is fine too, $1) from the bus station. This mosque is outside the city, about 2.5 kilometers, and it's the largest mosque in the country. I am really glad I went to see it. It has a nice design, ornaments and more character. I was impressed.

Later, exiting on the other side, I saw the 'no photos inside' sign. Well... too late. Later, a person from the mosque saw me with my big camera hanging from my neck and said nothing, except that the visitation time is over. I am sure he knew I didn't carry the camera for decoration, so I guess it is OK to show the few quick photos of how the mosque looks when you enter it.

My life has always been about freedom and I shall continue to walk this path.
Safe travels ! ........... Stan
