Abstract
The plane is already on its descent into Bandar Seri Begawan (BSB) International Airport, when you swoop over the Brunei coastline. My impression in the remaining few minutes before landing is one of being surrounded by dense lush vegetation. I should not be surprised by this as Brunei, with over 70% jungle cover, is billed as "The green heart of Borneo". Yet scattered in and amongst the foliage are clusters of housing joined by wide well kept roads. My next sensation after the air-conditioned comfort of Royal Brunei Airlines is of heat and humidity, followed shortly after leaving the airport car park by a sense of a slowing in life's hectic pace, or, is this last simply my imagination?
