The aeroplane was slowly descending on to the air strip of Bandar Seri Begawan. I was peeping downwards through the window of the plane with curiosity and great anticipation. I was surprised suddenly to see the plane sliding towards what appeared to be a beautiful garden. The plane touched the runway in the middle of a well manicured garden of green grass all around, flower beds and smallish date trees. I was completely taken in by surprise to see the well developed beautiful grounds because generally the air strips through the world over generally wear a deserted look and barren look. When after alighting down from the plane and entered into the Air Port building, I was flabbergasted to see the splendour, decoration and cleanliness of the building. Description of Brunei
