3rd Day in Brunei

The children had fun today at Kampung Ayer (water village). We took a boat to the water village and visited a primary school there. They put up exciting performances for us and even treated us to tea. The fried bee hoon was really delicious that almost everyone had more than 1 helpings. The teachers couldn't resist having a 2nd serving too.

In the morning, the pupils had classes. There were 3 classes, story telling, traditional food tasting and traditional games. It was really nice to see our children telling simple stories in malay! They were extremely interested in the tradtional food and games. We also had the chance to play some international chess with our Brunei counterparts.

So far the children have done very well. Parents, please help me to continue to encourage them and give them a pat on their backs!!
