Came across the following on a website called Online Women in Politics regarding “Women leaders” in Brunei:
The archived page is here, and the information had not been changed since 2003… O_o
*.danggeek.com.bn
I draw your attention to the domain name on the email address… danggeek.com.bn.
Obviously it’s a typo of danggerek.com.bn, for D’Anggerek Service Apartments (although they’re actually found at danggerek.com… hmm).
But for a moment there, I couldn’t help wishing that somewhere out there, someone had created a website called “Dang Geek” 😀 And I do mean that in full Brunei context; the short form for “Dayang” is…?
