Hi BrunoInBrunei, Sorry, I can't quote you exact prices of stuff from memory, but here's some info you may find helpful: Most of your items on your list should be available here except for kangaroo and goat meat - forget it, you won't get these ... Read More

Hi stepkhl, You asked where you could access teachers' own reviews of international schools. The best place that I know for this is www dot internationalschoolsreview dot com. It is a subscription-fee website, so to be able to read the reviews you ... Read More

Nemodot I am merely a parent who was looking for the best school within my price range, I have also mentioned other schools and stated that my friends are happy with the schools their children attend. Every school has had bad things said about it at ... Read More

Interesting to read that, from praents' perspectives atleast, Tenby school seems to get your vote... When I read teachers' evaluations of the school on isr.com, it is made to sound like hell on earth as a place to work! Hmmmm.... Agree with what ... Read More

Many expats are members of the Royal Brunei Yacht Club. The club has two clubhouses - one in Serasa, one in Kota Batu - and there are restaurants at both venues. These are good places to meet other ex-pats and to socialise. Joining sporting ... Read More

I find the cost of utility bills generally cheaper than in the UK. My monthly water bill averages under $3. In the UK, I was paying around $80 a month!! Electricity averages about $170 a month - in the UK, it would have been about the same, but ... Read More

I think this would be a great idea! Most ex-pats are used to using the internet to source and access a range of services and service providers; the 'shopping online' thing is second nature to us. However, here it's not - and this was a real ... Read More

I guess everyone's experiences of life in Brunei are going to be different, and your opinions will inevitably be coloured by how Brunei compares to the place you previously called home, but I find some of the criticisms that wpshark is making a bit ... Read More

Anyone looking for teaching jobs here should contact CfBT (cfbt.org). They have a contract with the Ministry of Education here to supply teachers to the MoE for work in local primary and secondary schools. I work for them, and love it! Read More
