Money doesn't grow on trees here

November 

In the past the sultanate of Brunei Darussalam was geographically larger, and a very influential maritime and trading state.  Today it is a small, conservative country with significant oil wealth, an Islamic monarchy, and relatively large preserved national parks. 

Beautiful hardwood water taxis like this one, zoom you around for $1.50.
