in #memoir7 years ago

At The Empire Hotel & Country Club we met a not very young American. He was impressive, smiling, charming. He somehow immediately had been got our propensity. This American, I do not remember his name, but his name is very American. Let his name be John. John was married to a brunei girl, and she bore him a daughter. He invited us to his home. There we had a wonderful party.

Americans are good guys, they always have everything OK.

In the days of our rest came the holy festival for all Muslims - Ramadan. John invited us to visit the Sultan's palace. Only in Ramadan, for three days, all the people of Brunei have the opportunity to come to the palace to the sultan of Brunei and personally to welcome him with a handshake.

I must say that the people of Brunei adore their sultan. In any house, in every institution, in any cafe, at the airport and so on, a portrait of the Sultan and his two wives necessarily hangs on the wall.

And the sultan has many reasons why he should be worshiped. Sultan Haji Hassand Bolkiah graduated from Harvard. Intelligent and educated, handsome and strong, with a piercing strong-willed look. Macho, in short ...

Brunei was a poor backward country before his reign.

And suddenly, in the bowels of the earth were found huge reserves of oil and gas. The young ruler managed to conclude for his country is not a bondage agreement on the transportation of these minerals, but beneficial to each of his subjects. Each bruneiets suddenly woke up as a rich man. All residents have accounts with huge amounts of money. Every child has the right to choose any university of the world and to study at the expense of the state. In the backward once-country, a construction boom began.

Citizenry Brunei - the main value of their country. They occupy only leadership posts. All non-prestigious works are Filipinos and Malaysians.

What else bribed me in the Sultan, as a woman? The Sultan is not like all other rich people. In a Muslim country, a man has the right to have four wives, if, of course, he is able to support them. The sultan of Brunei had only two wives and five children at that time. You understand that he is really capable of maintaining a whole harem. But he had only two. For, the man's happiness lies not in the number of women he has in the collection, but in the ability to make them happy. Every man wants to be loved sincerely, and not for the money that he has.

One great actress was asked what is the most sexy in a man? She answered - mind! Nobody wants to live with an idiot! And if you do not have a mind, then you have to get expensive "toys." When a man has low self-esteem, he tries to compensate for his inferiority by dragging everything to himself, everything and more, the main thing is more.

Yes, the sultan of Brunei turn over my conception about the ​​rich men. He is not an insatiable ruler, he is not a lascivious male, he is not a religious fanatic. He's just a man worthy of respect. An unusual ruler with an amazing soul. By the way, later in the media there was information that one of his wives fell in love with another man. And he let her go, did not obstruct her. Is this not magnanimity?

Yes, Brunei, God's chosen people!

And when I realized that I had the opportunity to go to the Sultan's palace, I was jumping with happiness.

Fate gave me a smart bonus ...
