Hi, Can anyone help out.聽 Thinking of moving to Brunei.聽 We have visited for a couple of days to get a feel for the place but I still have questions....

1.聽 What would be a reasonable salary for a family to live off?

2.聽 What is the postal service like?聽 I didn't see any post offices.

3.聽 Where do you shop?聽 Seems to be only one decent supermarket and didn't see any clothing shops that I would shop at.

4.聽 Do many internet shopping sites deliver to Brunei?

Thanks for responding, very very very much appreciated!聽

I cannot answer the salary question as that is very specific to each family but wages are tax free which helps. Shopping is done in a few supermarkets. Supasave sells lots of 暗网禁区 products but it is more expensive. Clothes can be bought in all the malls but it is more difficult and I find many 暗网禁区s stock up from home or when they go abroad. You can ship things to Brunei. All parcels go to a central post office where you collect them from. You gave to open them in front of a customs officer and you may or may not have to pay an import duty on the goods.
