Ahh, Brunei...

It's a little over a week since I've been here, and I'm beginning to miss Brunei. As much as I may complain about hot days and sweating, I'll be the first to admit--

I love it in Brunei.

I love the year-round sun.
I love the fact that everyday is a perfect beach day.
I love the frequently clear, shockingly blue skies.
I love how everyday is hot, which makes it always a good day for ice-cream.
I love the fact that you can go out in a t-shirt and jeans any day of the year (hell, even shorts and slippers!).
I love the fact that you can have a say in how cold it is (I love thermostats!).
I love how people actually enjoy the cooling effect of rain (as opposed to despising it here because it adds wet to the existing cold).
I love the calm and quiet and how laidback everything is, even in the "busy" areas.
I love walking at my own pace.
I love not being a minority.
I love taking a shower and actually enjoying the cold water after a hot sweaty day.
I love the fact that you can't go out without seeing green everywhere.
I love cheap Chinese food.
I love pasar malams.
I love the coziness of everything, like how you can sit in Coffeebean and relax with a coffee and not be distracted by the world outside whizzing past (simply because nothing whizzes in Brunei).
I love the fact that Brunei is home.

I miss Brunei.

Oh, and Weird Al rules. Total genius.
