Empty Brunei

Brunei only has about 400,000 citizens. It's a small Sultanate, located in the middle of Malaysian Borneo. Sleepy is a fitting description of the country. Bandar Seri Begawan is the capital. Bustling? Not even close.

For Friday prayers in this Muslim country, Bandar can look like the movie The Day The Earth Stood Still.

Streets, empty.


Alley, stairs and escalator, abandoned.

Main square, nobody.


More streets, less people.

The only sign of movement are the hands on a funky clock in an empty downtown intersection.
