Housing in Brunei

In general, teachers live in houses which are much larger than they may be used to in their own country. It should be noted however that houses can vary a lot from one district of Brunei to another. Families usually live in large detached houses with gardens, singles are able to live in similar houses but many prefer to live in smaller accommodation and keep the surplus in the housing allowance. Basic furnishing is provided although some landlords provide additional extras such as TV’s and washing machines.

Electricity in Brunei

Standard electricity in Brunei is 220-240 volts.  Plugs are of the 3 pin variety, the same as the UK.  Adapters for plugs are easy to find.  Power cuts happen occasionally, in some areas this will happen more often that in others, but these outages generally don't last much longer than a couple of hours.brunei-electrical-plug
