We found out quite easy to communicate with the local people as people here can speak good english.
Jerudong Park Entrance
In the evening, we visited Jerudong Park which is the largest and most expensive amusement park in South East Asia.
Previously there is free admission for Jerudong Park. However, due to various factors, we have to pay B$ 15 for one time admission fees.
