The Water Village (Kampong Ayer in Malay) is situated in the middle of the Brunei River. All of the Water Village buildings are constructed on stilts above the Brunei river. It is really made up of small villages linked together by more than 29,140 meters of foot-bridges, consisting of over 4200 structures including homes, mosques, restaurants, shops, a school, and a hospital. Private water taxis provide rapid transit. Most of these taxis resemble long wooden speed boats. It actually enjoys modern amenities including air conditioning, satellite television, Internet access, plumbing, and electricity. Some of the residents keep potted plants and chickens.
