Brunei Gets Ready to Party
If you think you know how to party, you ain't seen nothin' 'til you been to Brunei. The tiny oil-rich country on Borneo island is gearing up for its biggest shindig in years, marking Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah's 60th birthday on July 15th. The party starts this weekend and goes pretty much nonstop until the 15th.
According to the Associated Press, Hassanal can be a tad extravagant.
"He has a vast collection of Rolls-Royces and Ferraris, along [with] personal planes. While playing polo with Britain's Prince Charles, the sultan once had his polo [boots] delivered --by helicopter-- to the palace field." (AP)
But then, who hasn't?
