Jalan Jalan Cari Nonsense (episode: Brunai)

And so the story goes that that everyone thought that he or it had evaporated, never to be seen and leaving a trail of nonsensical legacy to those who still hold a fragment of distant memories of he or it.

THE END


NOw my current position is somewhere in bornea and i think i will give a short lesson on a nearby primitive kingdom called Brunai. Brunai, as everyone doesn't seem to know or care, lies at the heart of Serawak. Yup i guess anyone would be thinking of orangutans and jungles with big Rafflesia which is quite smelly and possibly detrimental to health. I m sure everyone knows the rumours that people here on Bornea sometimes live in treehouse and swing around all day but believe me, we are actually far more advance and civilized than we look.

We actually have the largest kampung ayer in the world. Engineered with sophisticatedly cut wooden planks, hand-crafted windows and possible mixture of new and old technology: the zinc roof, it is the 8th wonder of the new world.The brain child of a guy who probably been dead around 700 yr ago, we have create the single largest city on water in the world. I bet even the Egyptians who have model the pyramid, will stand mouth gapping ( probably seeing how wasteful the use of wood ) will probably tell their descendant of such sight ( not to waste so much wood to build a pyramid on water ) and generations to come. Catch Megastructure: Kampung Ayer on National Geography if they come to film Brunai.

Thats not all, don't think the run down scene of rift-rafting water perahus floating among the debris shows nothing but a bedraggled and degenerating village but actually is hiding high performances geeky specs. The random water taxis randomly splashing around actually is a highly sophisticated communication networking which only locals know how to use. To discourage usage by strangers, foreigners are always rip-off by the fares of the water taxi vendors. The food supply chain which is the life line of the kampung also depends on the perahus to meet the daily demands. Once again if an invasion is to occur, they would have to have both land and naval sumpremacy before they can conquer brunai.

On the other hand, what is simple and down rite obvious is actually the best solution. Instead of troublesome toilets piping that always clog and need expensive maintanence, the kampung residents just go the back door to do business. U never need to worry about privacy since probably everyone is doing it and you can have it during midnite anyway if privacy ur concern. If anyone is talking how to live green, the environmentalists aready have a real-proven-model rite here by the river. What u eat and finish processing is dump into the river and recycle by nature. Some fish that eat those excretions are eaten by bigger fish and so on. In the end some of the fish end up in the fishmongers stall in a nearby pasar. My advice is if u don want to break that cylcle of life, eat fish that are imported from nearby Sabaah if satying here. By the way, sometimes those end up as debris that float around like the ones i mentioned before in the scene.

Another thing, oil here is not free so u need to remember to pay after filling ur car. ANd actually it is more expensive than plain water for the fact.

Now i have written enought to be exiled already so i will cease from existence until the next episode of Jalan Jalan Cari Nonsense.
