Traffic Jam

The one thing nearly everyone warned me about my new place is - the traffic jam.

Having lived for nearly 10 years in an area where a queue of 5 cars is considered a “jam”, this is understandable.

However, coming from Kota Kinabalu where a queue of only 5 cars is  only possibly outside your own driveway, the traffic jams I have been experiencing for nearly 3 weeks now is actually nothing to sweat about.

Brunei drivers are generally defensive and courteous drivers. Anyone who are familiar with Kota Kinabalu and their dare-devil driving ways can practically “bully” anyone into giving them way.

Our drivers here are so patient that for the 3 weeks that I have been driving in slow jams in a few places, I have never heard a single honk!

And of course, the fun thing of being stuck in slow moving traffic is - checking out cars. With our competitive car prices  (compared to neighbouring countries) it can be tempting. But for the time being, I’ll settled for pictures only.
