simpangs in Brunei.
They may look innocuous from the outside but when you go into them, you find all kinds of unexpected treasures. And Jalan Sungai Assam did not disappoint.
I have driven past Jalan Sungai Assam dozens of times. It’s one of those
simpangs that doesn’t get a second glance usually. But today I happened to spot someone walking down it towards the main road. It was an Indian tradesman carrying his wares in a basket.
“I wonder what’s up there?,” I thought.
The
simpang becomes a little narrow as you drive up it so I parked my car, grabbed my camera and walked. As I entered the village I felt like I had stepped back in time. There are still villagees in Brunei that preserve the charm they all must have had half a century or more ago.
