I see you live there Jango - are there two Bruneis? I went there in 2001 for 14 months.
When I was there, it was obvious that the country was impoverished; no investment in maintaining the infrastructure. Big hospitals mothballed and toilet paper for hand towels at that swish hotel, the name of which escapes me (The Empire?)
From what I hear from friends still there, it is not getting any better. See Royal Brunei post in Far Eastern, Indian and Asian for a flavour of the situation.
If you're after the very quiet life - no probs. If you're after big bucks, forget it.
