Brunei and the UAE

Brunei and the UAE are both beautiful countries. In this essay I am going to compare and contrast two countries, Brunei and the UAE.

There are several similarities between these two countries. Both have the same religion, Islam and a lot of people live in both countries and each has a large expatriate population. In addition, most people think that both countries are beautiful and green with lots of parks and trees. Furthermore, both countries have huge modern towers, modern airports and well-developed infrastructures.

Although they have some similarities, there are many differences. First and most obvious is size. The UAE has an area of 185,180 square kilometers while Brunei is only 11,437 square kilometers. A further difference is the currency. In UAE they use the dirham,whereas the currency of Brunei is the ringgit. Another difference is climate. The weather in Brunei is much better than the UAE because it is rainy and less humid .Brunei's unique houses protects them from the rains. Furthermore, the roads are quieter in Brunei, which is less busy. A final difference is education.

Both countries are interesting countries to visit, safe and there are many comfortable places you can stay and enjoy. The UAE is my country and I like it so much. Despite this I prefer to live in Brunei for several reasons and the most important one is I like adventure and that is a good chance for me to do it. Also the weather is very nice especially if it is rainy because I like rain very much.

How olive oil is made

Producing olive oil is a fairly long and difficult process but if you follow these steps you should produce an excellent quality.

First, the olives are harvested by hand or with sticks and rakes in amid of September and December. Second they are collected on nets beneath the trees. Next, leaves and small stones are removed and the olives are run through a washer to remove any impurities before crushing. After that, within 24-36 hours of picking, the olives are crushed by granite millstones. Then, the olive paste obtained is layered on mats which are put under pressure from a screw or hydraulic press. After that, the liquid produced is collected and put through a centrifugal separator to separate the water and impurities from the oil. Finally, after centrifugation, the oil is obtained.

As you see making olive oil is really long and difficult procedure, but if follow the above steps very carefully you will produce perfect high-quality olive oil.
