How very progressive.
Yes but you still don't get alcohol in Brunei, so not really a place I would go for holiday...
I simply can't separate holiday and beers.
If Brunei is running out of oil then they are going in wrong direction so to speak. When Dubai/Bahrain ran out of oil they became comparatively liberal and open, bars, cinema, entertainment et al.
Heck all those young sauds drive down to Bahrain every weekend for some RnR.
Weren't some brits (heterosexuals) incarcerated in UAE last year for kissing on the beach? Yeah, sure. Sharia law only for muslims, unless the vice police think otherwise.
That did happen but people have been jailed for just kissing also.
