The Malay Technology Museum, Part 1

Kind of a misnomer. If you're expecting rockets, computers, heavy science, forget it. The Malay Technology Museum in Bandar Seri Begawan in Brunei is all about displaying the traditional technologies, the way of life of the local people.

Most of the museum is a parade of life size scenes of traditional village life. The technology is mostly related to fishing, food preparation, textile making, metal smithing, whatever keeps the village humming.

The display is also good for portrait photography, with a little selective composing.

Fixing a fishing net and a woman's portrait.

Time to fly a kite.

Time to go fishing. Mysterious metalsmith.
