Why I like History?

I like History because I can learn about the past and also learn about the History of Brunei Darussalam. This helps me understand the traditions and culture of my country.

One of my favourite things to do is listening to my father talk about how life was in his time. In the early 60's, there were not many cars on the road and my father would take the bus to school. In his free time, he would play outside with his friends. A bicycle selling ice cream would pass by his house and he and his friends would each buy one. He said that the ice cream from that ice cream man was the best he ever tasted. The difference between children then and now is that we like to stay indoors and play computer and watching TV. They don't have these things in the past so they would play outdoors and make up their own games.

History helps me understand these different lifestyles. That is why I like History.

In the 60's, there were so little cars on the road in Lumut that you can stand in the middle of the road for 15 minutes without getting run by a car.
