The rustic island
... the sensationalised idea in the press that Muslim = extremeist or immigrant. The ma, called Bakr, was not alone. Indeed, thoughout Malaysia, it is not uncommon to see a Mosque alongside a Hindu temple and a Chinese Buddhist temple. This form of ...
Sleepy Hollow
... in search of a late lunch and things to do - with a number of shops either still closed, or just closed early.Penang is the one place in Malaysia where there are more ethnic Chinese. This was quite evident in the composition of the town, and the number of ...
top secret sneaking around in Penang
Well we made it out of batu ferringhi beach without being spotted and managed to surprise Adams Mam and Dad in their hotel room. They thought we were still in ko tao and then heading off to the similan islands. That was all true except we had already ...
Entry 11: Yeah, We Tease Him A Lot Cause We Got...
... the hell was I gunna prove that Siberia, a place where I spent half of my science teachings really did exist in 38 degree Penang heat. A little bit distraught however I composed myself for fear of my rainbow eye shadow running down my face. By this stage ...
Rediscovering Penang
... from Butterworth on the mainland over to Penang Island brought back many memories.The last time I set foot on the Island of Penang in Malaysia was nearly ten years ago when I was sent by Motorola to install a new system and train the staff there. It was ...
Up Panang Hill
Georgetown is the second largest city in Malaysia, sitting on the island of Penang about 5km off the west coast of Malaysia. The sidewalk is more or less the walkway in front of any given building, so there is no consistency. Sometimes there isn't a ...
Pinang National Park
Riding around on our bikes, we stumbled upon Pinang National Park, on the North West corner of Pinang. What a beautiful place!! Monkeys on the beach (which I couldnt take a picture of, because they wanted to eat it...) really old trees and just an ...
Enter Malaysia
... around for an extra 2 hours so that didnt happen, so Kat was lumbered with the bag for the next week!!! Penang is an island off north west Malaysia and has, as we discovered after our stay there, beautiful beaches. That is all it has that is ...
En Penang, esta visita si que valió la pena

Ferry over to Penang
... sickness, my first thoughts of an English winter and its soon gone!! It does seem to be quite expensive on Penang so will have to keep it under control, as Malaysia is a muslim country alcohol is hard to get and very pricey. Time to cut down for a while ...
Waiting for a boat to Sumatra ....
... morning, along with a crazy and at that time drunk English guy I left Kuala Lumpur. We're now in Penang island on the north-west coast of Malaysia. Georgetown is a small colonial town, with some lovely buildings. A perfect place to stroll about a few days ...
malaysia bound
... not bad going for Thailand. The border crossing was easy which was nice after that morning we had, had. 07/11 Arrived in Penang, Malaysia 5 hours later. We were dropped off in China Town in Georgetown (right dump). We went to a bar with 2 ...
Gone are the Krabs; Georgetown keeps it cool
... furry just thinking about them. We’re stocked and distracted for a good two hours traveling through the suburbia streets towards penang. The palm oil fields and rubber trees rush out to greet us again, as do other motorists who seem to battle for ...
Penang
... a cab back to Georgetown and then the airport. We did see some good stuff on the cab ride though. We saw the Penang beaches and a floating mosque. We probably could have spent another day here, but I'm really excited to go to Phuket. We ...
Kuala Lumpur to Batu Ferringhi
Arrived in Batu Ferringhi on Penang Island yesterday afternoon after a pleasant five hour bus ride from KL- quite chuffed that I managed to survive 2 local bus interchanges and a demonic bus driver to work out when I had actually arrived at the ...
Kuala Lumpur and Penang Malaysia
... sure they are already based out of the pyramids in Cairo. After all of this we took the nigt train from Kuala Lumpur to Penang Malaysia. Only 2nd class was available - at a cost o about $12CDN per person. We were kind of worried what that sort of ...
Penang, Malaysia
... more distant fishing village in the north-west which promised sands devoid of humans and loved by monkeys. Thing we've found about Malaysia is that everything takes a lot longer than we're used to - the bus driver will generally stop mid-journey for a ...
Tendering
... a unique port for the ship because we didn't actually dock anywhere. We floated in the harbor between the island of Penang and mainland Malaysia and had to travel by lifeboat to shore in a tedious, time-consuming, and stressful process called tendering. ...
Sorry no oompa loompas in this chocolate factory
... 've got a fan and mosquito net so were happy enough. Rachel: Were in Georgetown which is the capital of Penang and Malaysia's second largest city, still nowhere near as big as KL and most places of interest are all within walking ...
Day 5 - 14 Penang and the Perhentians
... . The ride went ok. I was next to a Malay-Chinese guy and strangely he seemed as lost as I did when the bus stopped in Penang. Fortunately though, I was met immediately buy Nav. It was great catching up with him, it wasnt as if 2 years had passed since we ...
Weekend at home and Chinese Wedding
This weekend we stayed in Penang to attend a Chinese wedding. Friday night, April made a chicken tropi-chop which would make Pollo Tropical jealous. Saturday night was the wedding. Our relocation specialist Sing Yee married at a hotel about 2 blocks ...
Pirahnas and Pirates ~ by cargo ship to Singapore
... saw where my mum grew up, and had a very happy reunion with Topshop. I think that's probably why I loved Singapore. I'm now in Penang, Malaysia. It's a nice place, which is good, because if it wasn't I'd have to shop some more. I've seen stoned ...
Penang, Malaysia
The first stop as we crossed the border into the new country of Malaysia, what would we think of this new place? so close to thialand can it really be that different? hell ...

Penang, Georgetown
... at night (3 quid) an absolute bargain. That evening we set out to take a look for the hawker food for which Penang is famed. Malaysia is an interesting mix of ethnic Malays, Indians and Chinese, and as a result the food is very varied, and ...
I felt so bad leaving all you people out ...
... I had to double check I hadn't fallen asleep for, I don't know, 2 years, and woken up in Europe somewhere. Malaysia, at least Penang, is the opposite of Indonesia. Not one person has tried to sell me anything today. Not one person has even ...
Penang
