I took a massive 3 days off last week and went back to Miri for the Hari Raya holidays. I had the chance to visit Brunei to check out the sports rims there. Will be getting them at the end of this year.

While approaching the Brunei Sultan’s Palace, we spotted these crowds along the stretch of the palace roads. The palace is open for public visitation every year during the Hari Raya season. During the visit, you get to shake hands with the Sultan himself and grab a free goodie pack, along with some hot food served on the spot - if you’re willing to wait on the queue.

A little traffic jam here.

The palace entrance.

Visitation hour is over and the crowd comes out of the palace.

I wonder how he managed to get so many of those goodie packs. I thought there’s only 1 for each person? By the way, those goodie packs are actually filled with food.

And then, there’s more people with goodie packs.

Everyone has it, little ones, old ones.

Goodie packs for the whole family.

Those who didn’t get it were left dejected and sitting by the roadside.

The chick in pink got a goodie pack too!!!!

Alright, enough of those goodie packs, I’ll show you some nice rims in the next post.

Halfway down the country roads of the German-Luxembourg border, as we’re heading down to the Moselle valley in Trittenheim, Germany, we were a little low on fuel. Lucky that we found a mini gas station along the way.

What do you need? Super Diesel, Benzin, or Super unleaded?

It only costs Euro 1.179 per litre. How much is it in Malaysia? RM1.91?

We at the ED Fuel station would like to wish you guys a “Good Fart”! and please come back again.

WTF?

Try Google Translate and translate it from German to English.

London is the first stop of our honeymoon in Europe. In fact, we flew off to the Netherlands on the same day ‘coz we’ve planned to tour London during the final 2 days and then catch the return flight back home.

“Selamat Datang ke London Heathrow Airport.” It’s 6 in the morning and we’re totally jet-lagged!

London Heathrow is one of the busiest airports in the world. From what I saw, there’s an average of 1 commercial aircraft landing per minute. That pretty much means back to back, non-stop flights coming in. If you’re good at maths and economics, you can calculate the number of tourists coming in and the amount of money they’re gonna spend here. Tourism is a huge business in this part of the world!

Madurodam is a park filled with miniature peoples and buildings. If you’re lazy to travel around Holland, you could just come here and see all the famous buildings and places in this country. Cool eh?

Photos taken during my honeymoon trip to Holland. Madurodam is situated in Den Haag (The Hague) city, Netherlands.

And they even feature Malaysia Airlines Boeing-747 in their mini Schipol International Airport!

If you wonder how does the park look like from the sky, here’s Google Sighseeing’s shot.

Windmills turn, tour boats move down canals, fire-fighters are extinguishing a fire in the harbour, modern trains traverse the city on the world’s largest miniature railway. The modernised shop has an extensive range of typical Dutch products and surprising souvenirs. A visit to nearby Scheveningen Beach, the various museums in the immediate vicinity, can be combined easily with a visit to Madurodam.
