I really enjoy my time here. We built a bar out of wood and did some maintenance work. Also we helped preparing food. Apart from that, the family did lots of sightseeing with us. We had a great opportunity for cultural exchange. Also the nature in Brunei is really beautiful. I can recommend the workaway!
