Brunei Darussalam

Salam...
I would like to visit Brunei Darussalam. Brunei is located in South-eastern Asia bordering the south China Sea and Malaysia. It has four climates. It is tropical, hot, humid and rainy. According to July 2001 census, the population of Brunei is about 343, 653. The population is ethnically mixed. There are Malay, Chinese, Indian, and others. Malay is the largest ethnic in Brunei. Brunei is famous with society of Muslims and also famous with petroleum.
The history of Brunei is begin with the Sultanate of Brunei was very powerful from the fourteenth to the sixteenth century CE. It is realm covered the northerm part of Borneo and the southwestern Philipines. Eouropean influence gradually brought an end to this regional power. Later, there was a brief war with Spain, in which Brunei was victorious. The decline of the Bruneian Empire culminated in the nineteenth century when Brunei lost much of its territory to the white Rajah's of Sarawak, resulting in its current small landmass and separation into two parts. Brunei was a British protectorate from 1888 to 1984.
In Brunei there are many interesting places that we can see. For example, a famous mosque called The Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddin Mosque. It was built in 1958 at Bandar Seri Begawan. This is one of the most beautiful mosque in the world. It is also famous for the golden dome and special architecture. Besides, there are wonderful beach in Brunei Darussalam. For example, Seri Kenangan Beach at Tutong district. There is a long golden sandy beach there.
