This site is long overdue and something I talked about doing when we first arrived in Brunei 2 years ago. We arrived and were put in a hotel and left to our own devices to find banks, cars, accommodation and the list goes on. As we went through each step of getting ourselves set up, both ourselves and friends we know all agreed there should be a way to inform other expats arriving and those already living here how to get themselves set up and also a way to pass information between one another. I hope this will also become a great way for the expatriate community of Brunei to publicize events and activities they are either running or involved in, here in Brunei.
I hope to generate a message board in time which will enable all expatriates in Brunei to pass on valuable information to one another and to those that may be lucky enough to join us here in Brunei!
Please email me at bruneiexpat@expatsbrunei.com for more information or your suggestions for the site. Continue reading Welcome to Brunei Expats!!
