Traveling is becoming a trend nowadays. Tourists are turning their eyes to Asia, which is considered to be an adventurous and amazing land. That is the reason why last Saturday we were excited to welcome Awangku Mahammad Naqiuddin Bin Pengiran Rahim from the University of Brunei Darussalam. He gave a presentation about his country Brunei under the title “The Abode of Peace and a Bruneian Student’s Adventure in Korea.”

 

Brunei, a small kingdom in South East Asia, through Naqui’s presentation, was like an amazing trip to us. He showed us every page of the country: the meaning of Darussalam, the country map, the 29th Sultan of Brunei, the 2 official languages, funny comparing facts between Brunei and Gwangju, and the distance between there and Korea. Instead of just showing the numbers and percentages, the presentation came vividly with interesting pyramids and charts, which let the audiences have the easiest look about all things Bruneian. The country, according to Naqui, develops pretty well these years with good economic growth rates, education, housing and taxes supports, and many other positive policies. Our presenter also mentioned some interesting facts about Brunei such as the prohibition of alcohol and the ownership of a cattle ranch in Australia which is even bigger than Brunei itself. Further into the presentation, Naqui shared his very first experiences in Korea through the perspective of an international student, including why he loved Korea so much, and how independent he had to be to adopting a  new life away from home.
