Post Report of the Day

Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei

What is the availability and cost of household help, and what types of help are typically employed by expatriates?

Available but hard to manage because of the quota process and paperwork. Some amahs like to "freelance" but that is illegal and should be avoided. Some services like Termicam will allow you to hire someone...

What are some typical ways to socialize, either with local people or with other expatriates? Are there groups or clubs that you can recommend?

Movies, nature, house parties, hanging out with friends, traveling, eating, diving, beach going, etc.
