Many years ago I used to have a specialised compass that came with a list of world cities and bearing - set the dial according to the number of beside the city you were in, make the needle line up with the markings and you were facing Mecca. Nowadays there are devices that do much the same thing, but use a GPS to figure out where they are.

I once sat down and used a globe and atlas to figure out how it worked, and it used great circle.

I welcome you to Brunei too. I'm really hoping you will enjoy your stay here. If you need some guide into what to do in Brunei, you might wanna see this independent Visit Brunei blog written by a bunch of local bloggers. There's also an extensive Bruneian Blog Directory here if you want to see/read how diverse the Bruneian community is.

I am glad that you are enjoying Brunei. I must say that the country is very laid back and slow moving. It is also kinda sleepy really. I am looking forward to your entries on Brunei. :)
