Bandar Seri Begawan
View of Town Square or to be precise, Taman Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien in the capital of Brunei Darussalam. In the background you can see Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque and and in the foreground, you can just about make it out in the center of the semi circular structure, a small monument to commemorate the renaming of Brunei town to Bandar Seri Begawan in 1970. The half circle rows of columns that you see was built around it to commemorate in celebration of 25 years of that. This picture was taken a few days after the 23rd National Day celebration which took place at the square. Hence the reason for the patches in middle of the field as they built a stage on it.
