Geography
Brunei is made up of two distinguishable sections, an estimated of 30km (19 miles) apart. Both areas are bordered by the South China Sea to the north, and by the Malaysian province of Sarawak all around the other sides.

The Eastern Brunei consists of a coastal plain rising to a height of 1841m (6038ft) at Bukit Pagon while Western Brunei is composed of hilly lowlands.

A majority of Brunei is still covered by dense jungle. Only 15% of the country is cultivated, resulting in Brunei having to import 80% of its food requirements.


Climate
Brunei does not have significant wet and dry seasons. Rainfall occurs throughout the year; heaviest between September and January. Temperatures are consistently between 24°C (75°F) and 31°C (88°F) with an average humidity of 79%.

These features contribute to making Brunei a pretty warm and sticky place to stay in.


Brunei is a small country in Southeast Asia. It lies on the north coast of the island of Borneo. The people of Brunei enjoy a high standard of living, mainly because of the country's valuable offshore petroleum deposits.

          Brunei covers 5,765 square kilometres and has a population of 299,000. Its official name is Brunei Darussalam, which means Brunei, Abode of Peace. Bandar Seri Begawan is its capital and largest city.

Although greatly reduced in size since its heyday of the 16th century, the Sultanate of Brunei sits atop extensive petroleum and natural gas fields, the source of one of the highest per capita GDPs in the less developed countries.
