Brunei Hospitality

Visiting London is always enjoyable. Ask any Bruneian. Our HM just spent the last 2-3 weeks there.

For two nights we were invited for dinner by our cousins who live in Camden and Queens Park just a few miles north of Paddington. Surprisingly those places are quite nice areas to live with plenty of local shops and within travelling distance to Central London. They are also near to Finchley, Willesden and Kilburn. Houses are renting at 2000 pounds per month - pretty expensive. Its worst in Central London where Brunei Embassy pays around 6000 pounds for its staff. On the bright side, government schools are free. In Uk there is no charge for attending both Primary and Secondary schools. Don't get confuse this with public school. In England the term "public school" refers to fee-charging independent schools.
