Here under Malaysia - NPT - Day 1, you will find travel information for that day, with practical information including the opening hours and addresses of the different attractions.
Explore the 28 water villages of Kampung ayer, and walk on a maze of wooden plankwalks connecting the different places. For at least 600 years, Bruneians harvested the bounty of the seas, forging a way of life that is still strongly evident in the lives of the 30,000 inhabitants of Kampung Ayer.
Here, the village's centuries-old web of homes, markets, mosques, schools, medical clinics and police and fire stations hovers on stilts over the shallows of Brunei River.
Visit Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque, with its soaring minarets and golden dome, oasis of tranquility. Completed in 1958, it is built of Italian marble, gold mosaic and English stained gloss, but with craftmanship that reflects classical Islamic architecture.

"The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page", St. Augustine said. Here at www.travel-university.org we believe that every page must be read and explored. Travel is an avenue of learning that no text or classroom can teach. The world is a living classroom and you the student. We invite you to the www.travel-university.org library where you can read general interest and detail oriented articles.
