72 Hours Lost in the World’s Richest Dictatorship (no hotel, no food, no transportation...)
Yes Theory
0:00 [Music] As we continue seeking stories in countries no one has ever
0:05 heard of, there is a small nation that's been hiding from us.
0:09 One of the world's top 10 richest nations per capita with a sultan
0:14 who in the '90s was the richest man in the world.
0:17 But how come no one ever talks about this place?
0:21 Unfortunately, besides its extravagant wealth,
0:23 the few things we've heard about it have been negative.
0:26 In 2019, the country shocked the world by announcing
0:30 strict Sharia laws that included stoning as punishment.
0:33 The backlash was so fierce that celebrities called
0:36 for boycots and the sultan was forced to backtrack.
0:40 But the laws technically still exist today.
0:43 Amongst travelers, the country has a reputation of being a very
0:46 boring place to travel to with our friend and YouTube
0:49 creator Drewinsky having named it his least favorite and most
0:53 boring country after traveling to all the countries in the world.
0:57 And today I'd like to talk to you a little bit about a country
0:59 that I did not enjoy so much and that nation is called Brunai.
1:03 This country doesn't seem very promising,
1:06 but we have learned that behind every authoritarian regime is a larger
1:10 population that lives their normal lives
1:12 and that people are not their government.
1:14 And so we thought, could we get dropped off
1:16 deep into the rural heart of this small and supposedly
1:19 very strict nation and hitchhike our way back
1:22 to the capital to see if despite all this negative reputation,
1:25 we could survive totally on our own.
1:28 And well, as we were on our way there, we ran into a fairly big problem.
1:32 An unexpected turn of events resulted in me
1:35 not being able to come along to Bernay,
1:37 which means Stafan and our cinematographer Cory would be going on their own.
1:41 And at first, we were wondering if we should call the trip off.
1:45 But no, I decided to send Stafan on his own.
1:48 And to make it even harder for him,
1:50 I added a much larger mission for him to complete along his journey.
1:54 I think his hiking is a little too easy.
1:58 No.
1:58 So, I've prepared a letter that you can read once you arrive.
2:01 Arrive where?
2:02 arrived to wherever this little middle of nowhere we're sending you.
2:06 I'm shaking a little bit.
2:07 That was That was pretty hitchhiking will be the main mission.
2:12 Mhm.
2:11 And then this is the full mission.
2:13 This is going to be uh this is going to be an adventure.
2:16 I think it's going to be a little hard.
2:18 It might be very very hard.
2:19 Okay, Cory, ready to both of you?
2:22 Ready?
2:21 I think you guys have to go now.
2:23 Yeah, we do.
2:23 Yeah.
2:23 Yeah, we have to go now.
2:24 Your flight is leaving.
2:25 And so I called a driver in Brunai and asked him
2:28 to take the boys to an unknown location at the furthest
2:31 point that the roads will take him with his ultimate
2:34 goal being making it back to the capital within 72 hours.
2:40 [Music]
2:44 So we are about to send it.
2:46 Feeling so giggly like so much in my body.
2:49 How are you?
2:50 Good.
2:50 Good.
2:50 How are you?
2:51 Nice to meet you.
2:52 Nice to meet you.
2:52 It's a long ride.
2:54 Yeah, it's a long ride.
2:56 Well, when a local says it's a long ride,
2:57 then then then we know we're going far.
3:00 Okay.
3:01 How you feeling?
3:02 We're feeling butterflies for sure.
3:03 We don't know where we're sleeping tonight.
3:05 We don't know if there is people on this road that we're going to be on.
3:09 John, do you know what we're doing?
3:10 Not really sure, actually.
3:12 Okay.
3:12 Okay.
3:12 Okay.
3:13 We don't even know where you are driving us right now.
3:15 Oh, wow.
3:15 Yeah.
3:15 Yeah.
3:16 Yeah.
3:16 So, it's a surprise.
3:17 It's a surprise.
3:18 Surprise.
3:18 But you said it's you said it's far away.
3:20 Far away.
3:21 Yeah.
3:22 No hotel over there.
3:24 Oh, there's no hotel.
3:25 There's
3:26 only houses.
3:27 No, there's no hotel.
3:29 No hotel.
3:29 Just houses.
3:31 Wait, there's nothing to Why did I even take out cash then?
3:35 Yeah, it's around 30 40 of people.
3:38 Where were we going now?
3:39 Yeah.
3:39 30 to 40 people only.
3:41 That's like one family.
3:43 Thomas said to me yesterday at WhatsApp, just drop them at the end of the road.
3:50 Come on, Thomas.
3:51 It's already a challenge.
3:53 [Music] You're just smiling and happy.
4:06 Okay.
4:06 Thanks for the drive, man.
4:08 And we don't know where on the map we are right now as well.
4:11 I don't think that would have mattered because I don't know anything about Bnee.
4:14 But but still, we don't know where we are.
4:17 Yeah.
4:17 So, do I just leave you here or do the hell?
4:22 We're far far away now.
4:25 It's like the end of Brunai.
4:28 We have a letter here that we're going to read for ourselves.
4:32 Okay.
4:31 And see what it is.
4:32 You're more than welcome to listen as well if you want to.
4:35 Yeah, I would like to.
4:38 Okay.
4:38 I'm nervous again.
4:40 Okay.
4:40 The letter goes.
4:42 Welcome to Brunet.
4:43 You are officially on your own.
4:45 And although I know you will probably miss me where much,
4:48 you won't miss me too much because I have created
4:50 a series of challenge for you to complete on your journey.
4:53 I've created for you an official mission log to connect with locals.
4:57 You have to score at least 10 points
4:58 from the list below to consider your journey complete.
5:01 Maha.
5:01 Good luck, Captain.
5:02 You're in charge of the ship now.
5:03 Be brave, be kind, and be local.
5:06 Yes, sir.
5:09 Good luck.
5:11 What do you say about the list?
5:12 very very hot.
5:14 Do you believe in us?
5:16 I do believe in you both.
5:18 Yeah.
5:19 Thank you.
5:19 It was beautiful meeting you, John.
5:21 Our first Bernan friend, if we may call you a friend.
5:24 That's already one mission.
5:25 That's all right.
5:30 She national hero.
5:32 Wish you all the best.
5:35 There he goes.
5:35 It's now just you and me, buddy.
5:37 Yeah, man.
5:38 Strangely enough, the only thing out here was a small
5:41 police outpost that asked Stfan and Cory to sign in.
5:45 Where are you going, sir?
5:47 So, we are going to the capital like walking hitchhiking maybe.
5:51 Where should we walk?
5:52 Would you say if we're like walking towards the capital?
5:55 You just follow this from this one.
5:57 This one here.
5:58 Is that towards the capital or further away from the capital?
6:02 Further away.
6:03 Yeah.
6:04 Which is the way which comes closer to the capital?
6:09 [Music] Can I go back to jail?
6:21 Yeah.
6:22 Yeah.
6:22 Yeah.
6:23 The best triple people in the world.
6:27 Thank you, sir.
6:27 Thank you, sir.
6:28 Call us if you need us.
6:29 We got your back.
6:30 Why did I say that?
6:31 Why did I say that?
6:32 I said, "Call us if you need us.
6:34 We got your back." You said that to the police.
6:37 Why did I say that when he said that there's only like 20 people living here?
6:40 It's like just by chance that we saw the police people,
6:42 but like other than that, there's been no one.
6:44 Yeah, it's been nobody.
6:46 We have been walking for Yeah.
6:47 at least one and a half hour and we haven't seen a single soul.
6:50 Now, when I say it, that car is actually coming.
6:53 [Music]
6:55 Yeah, that's the that's the direction we came from.
6:58 But if that car comes back, it's ours.
7:00 One car in one and a half hours.
7:02 So, if we continue like this for three more hours, maybe two more cars.
7:06 If you looked at this drone footage, you would not feel so confident.
7:13 Me and Cory have came to conclusion that it's pretty hot.
7:16 It's pretty humid and we are doing I don't want to complain,
7:19 but it's we've been walking for quite a bit.
7:21 Haven't seen a single soul.
7:22 Is that a car coming?
7:24 Get in.
7:24 Get in.

16:36 and I am blown away by everything that they got up to.
16:39 But, uh, I'll be back on time for the next adventure.
16:41 In the meantime, since I'm not really doing much in this video,
16:44 I've been tasked with letting you know about our favorite life hack
16:47 over the last few years and the sponsor of today's video, SY.
16:52 Sy is a worldwide EIM app that works in over 200 countries.
16:56 Instead of wasting tons of time at the airport,
16:59 buying a SIM card, and losing your phone number,
17:01 or paying insane roaming fees, we just install the SY app once on our phone,
17:06 and then it works wherever we travel.
17:08 It's super simple.
17:09 You easily search the eim for the country you're currently in and follow
17:13 the instructions and within a few minutes you've got data on your phone.
17:17 And it's not just about staying connected.
17:19 Sy also protects your privacy.
17:21 You can change your virtual location, block ads,
17:23 and even keep your browsing safer with builtin web protection.
17:27 Plus, their support is 24/7 if you ever get stuck.
17:30 So, if you are planning travels anywhere abroad,
17:33 download the SY app and use the code for 15% off any plan.
17:38 You can also scan the QR code on screen or go to sail.com/yest.
17:43 And now back to our adventure to see if they complete my travel
17:46 challenge and managed to hitchhike their way back to the capital city.
17:52 [Music] It's an honor to wake up to see that Alan is sitting here.
18:00 Your breakfast already for you and Cory.
18:03 Welcome to day two of this adventure.
18:06 Cory is awake.

18:30 After breakfast, Alan and Alan wanted to show
18:32 us some of their favorite parts of Brunai.
18:34 But most importantly,
18:35 they were committed to helping them take off their missions.
18:49 Made it to the ocean.
18:50 Ocean of Bnee.
18:51 Now we just need to figure out, Cory,

20:19 So, we're going to try to get the fish and then cook it.
20:22 Mhm.
20:23 It's extremely inspiring to see how they are so
20:25 selfsufficient with fishing their own fish in the river,
20:29 growing their own stuff,
20:30 really finding their own way of living here with their own community and yeah,
20:34 happy to be part of this family now.
20:36 Wow.
20:36 Katnab.
20:37 Okay.
20:39 Wow.
20:39 Twins, huh?
20:42 When did you learn to cook like this and live like this?
20:44 I learned from my dad, brother, my cousin.
20:48 They teach me how to cook the bamboo.
20:51 We use the bamboo to cook.
20:52 Ah, you don't need a pot.
20:54 No, no need to.
20:55 Okay.
20:55 Well, let's go and get our our pot.
20:56 Yeah.
21:05 Yeah.
20:59 [Music] Moment of truth.
21:15 Will I be accepted as Alan's brother or not?
21:19 On the side.
21:23 [Music] I did it.
21:28 Nice.
21:29 Amazing.
21:30 We follow the leader.
21:34 [Music] We do this for the people of Brunai.
21:45 Yes.
21:49 The beautiful part here as well is that Cory and myself,
21:52 we can't maybe always understand and communicate every word,
21:55 but energetically like we can really understand each other.
21:58 It makes me think about when we met sumos in Japan,
22:01 you know, couldn't speak with them,
22:02 but we still became friends and, you know, also had a sleep over there.
22:06 So, it's a beautiful experience.
22:08 Happy to share it with you, brother.
22:10 Yeah, man.
22:12 [Applause] Put the salt, garlic, onion, chili.
22:23 Okay.
22:23 Now put into the bamboo like this.
22:30 We close with pandan leaves.
22:35 Nice.
22:35 It's my mom.
22:36 Oh, mommy.
22:37 And this she is my mother-in-law.
22:40 My mom.
22:41 It's my sister, the whole family.

23:15 Okay, take a bite here.
23:18 Wow, that rice is incredibly good.
23:23 [Music]
23:32 I was nervous, bro.
23:34 Imagine drop that in front of everyone.
23:36 1/4 of the food is gone.
23:39 [Music] Okay.
23:53 [Music]
23:56 I need more inspiration, more happiness.
24:05 We're not going to experience this anywhere else in the world,
