Brunei, a country on the island of Borneo in Southeast Asia once controlled most regions of Borneo at the peak of the Bruneian Empire. Capital city: Bandar Seri Begawan

Nature

While tropical wildlife may be familiar to people living in the region, the Ulu Temburong National Park is in the Temburong District. Borneo is home to around 222 mammals, 420 birds, 100 amphibians and 394 fishes. 10-20% of these species are endemic where they are not found anywhere else in the world. (Source: WWF).

Naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace worked on the island of Borneo in Sarawak in 1855, where he studied birds. His correspondence with Charles Darwin showed that both of them had conceived the same ideas on the evolution of species (Berkeley: Understand Evolution).

This also known as the Sarawak Law where he stated:

"Every species has come into existence coincident both in space and time with a closely allied species" --Wallace

Diving

Just off the coast of Brunei, Brunei Bay is a great diving location with a number of reefs and wrecks to explore. Expect to chance upon a great diversity of sponges, coelenterates (e.g. jellyfishes), flatworms, segmented worms, molluscs, crustaceans (e.g. crabs, lobsters, shrimps), echinoderms (e.g. seastars and sea cucumbers), bryozoans (abundant small colonial animals bound by hard cover), tunicates (sea-squirts), fishes, reptiles, and mammals (Source: Peter Engbers)

Perhaps not diving, but definitely walking into the forests to view the natural sights. Drinking tea, always.

Great post!

I was envious, thought you went there @tysler, but your last paragraph made it clear you are hoping to go there one day. Mind if I ask what stops you from going now?

About Brunei, I have been hearing about the country being rich in crude oil, their monarch leader being powerful and rich whatever, whatever. What brought Brunei to my attention was his collection of cars, he was at one time, if I am not mistaken, the largest car collector in the world, don't know of now.

you are right...

it is very beautiful, I hope you stop and vacation also to aceh, indonesia @tysler
natural beauty and natural attractions no less good with other places.
