Brunei

Brunei This is a very small country lying on the island of Borneo in Southeast Asia, most known as an oil-rich country which makes the capita incomes among one of the highest. You will be able to experience the Jerudong, playgrond of the sultan,if you are invited though, but you can enjoy one of the biggest amusement parks in the world, lake Tasik Merimbun surrounded by forest with monkeys ans brids, or the scientific research centre, where you will learn a lot going through the rainforest and jungle. So much to see in such a small country.
