Brunei & the UAE

I am going to compare and contrast between two countries, the UAE and Brunei.

The first similarity is both countrie's religion is Islam; they have mosques to pray and worship. Another similarity is that each country has hereditary monarchies. When the monarch dies his son takes the lead after him. Another similarity is both countries are producing oil and gas to the high level of economy. When the industry is improving the country will be wealthier which reduces dependence on imports from abroad. Another similarity is modern airports for both countries. Both countries have developed, which allows airports to accommodate a greater number of people and improves the speed of travel.

Although there are some similarities, also there are many differences. The first one is the location for both countries. The UAE is in the Middle East whereas Brunei is a tropical country in the Far East. The second difference is driving a car with different side of steering wheel. In the UAE they drive the car by left-hand unlike Brunei they drive by right-hand. The other difference is building. The houses in different ways. In Brunei build some houses high from the ground level to avoid animals but in the UAE they build in on normal place which is on the ground. Another one is mixed schools between girls and boys. In the UAE they separate the boys from girls, each in different schools; however in Brunei they study together in the same class also.

Both countries are fascinating places to live and to complement the study also. They have same religion so you can pray in a mosque and you feel comfortable. I prefer to live in a new place from time to time and know more about the country.
