ʻO ka inoa kaulana loa ma Brunei he inoa like me ka moku'āina. He mea kūpono ke loaʻa iā ia kona kaulanaʻole ma muli o nāʻano kūikawā. ʻO kaʻoiaʻiʻo,ʻo ka muliwaiʻo Brunei paha ka meaʻoi loa o nā kahawai nui ma ka'āina. ʻAʻole ia i keʻano o ka hohonu hohonu aiʻole i nāʻano iʻa likeʻole. ʻO ka mea ma kēia kahawaiʻo ka hapa nui o nā mea maikaʻi loa o Brunei - aia nā "kauhale ma mua o ka wai".
Nāʻano o ka muliwaiʻo Brunei
Holo ka muliwai Brunei ma ka mokuʻo Brunei Mura, ma ka'ākau o ka mokupuniʻo Klimantan, ma ke kūlanakauhale nui o Bandar Seri Begawan . ʻO nā kumu nui o kēia kai:
- lōʻihi - 41 km;
- keʻano o ka hoʻonaʻauao - ka huiʻana o nā muliwaiʻelua;
- kahe wai pahu - 765 km ²;
- anuanu - ke kaiʻo Kina Hema (Brunei Bay wahi).
Mai ka wā kahiko, he kūlana koʻikoʻi nui ka muliwaiʻo Brunei. He kumu waiwai nui ia o ka wai hou. Eia kekahi, no kaʻike'āina a me nā hiʻohiʻona'āina o ka'āina, no ka manawa lōʻihi, ua hoʻonaninauʻia ka halihaliʻana o nā halihali a pau i nā awāwa o nā muliwai nui. ʻO ka hapanui o Brunei i uhiʻia i nā nahele uluʻole. ʻO kēia ka mea e hoʻomaopopo nei i kaʻaneʻane kokoke i nā kauhale ma Brunei kokoke i nā kahawai a me nā loko hou.
Inā he lahuʻoe, hiki iāʻoe keʻike i kaʻike kupaianaha. ʻO kēlā me kēia makahiki ma ka mokuʻo Brunei, ua hoʻokūʻia nāʻahaʻaina kau ma nā moku kūikawā.

ʻO ka'āina kaulana loa ma ka muliwai ma Brunei, ke kauhale o Kampung Ayer, he 28 mau kauhale liʻiliʻi. ʻO ke kumu o kēia kahi kūpono kahi (aia i loko o ke kapikala kahi e noho ai ka hapa nui o nā mea mākaʻikaʻi) a me kahi hoʻonui i hoʻonuiʻia. Ma waho aʻe o nā hale noho a me nā hale hoʻokipa, aia nā hale kūʻai, nā hale kūʻai, nā kula, nā kula keikikāne a me kahi pūkawā a me kahi keʻena ahi.
Ma Kampung Ayer poʻe e like me nā poʻe malihini a me nā malihini hoʻokipa mau. Kūkuluʻia nā hale ma luna o ka muliwai, e hoʻonui ana iā lākou ma luna o ka pae wai ma nā pahu kūikawā. ʻO nā loulou i waena o lākou he mau pae alahaka.
I ka heleʻana i ke kahawaiʻo Brunei, ua lawaʻo ia e hoʻokokoke aku i kahi kāleka lehulehu. No 50-60 Brunei dollars (€ 33-40) hiki ke hāʻawiʻia iāʻoe he kaʻa hoʻokahi hola i ka "kauhale ma ka wai". No ka heleʻana ma ke kahawai a hiki i nā mea ulu, ponoʻoe e uku hou aku. Akā,ʻo nā koina. E hāʻuleʻoe i loko o ke kaona o ka wahie a hana i nā kiʻi nani ma ke alanui. Hoʻonaneaʻia nā mākaʻikaʻi i nā mangrove, i kekahi manawa e hiki iāʻoe ke hālāwai i ke kahakai o nā nalu maʻamau (monkey-noses, pangolins, manu manu).
