So I had a free (more like included in the flight price) hotel stay in Brunei the capital of Borneo for the twelve hours layover to Perth. Worked out rather well when the airport informed the front desk at ten am that our flight was to be delayed til six pm because i then got free lunch and had time to walk around the city a bit. The thing I will not forget is how all the older muslim men smelled of clove cigarettes. This mosque was near the capital and when i arrived the people were in the middle of a prayer session so I wasn't allowed to enter. Muslim prayer is six times a day.
