Equatorial Hotel Penang Pulau Penang

... were restaurants everywhere, Indian pop music blaring, and even some live music. I'm not the biggest fan of Indian food, but we all sat down at an Indian restaurant on the road to give it a try. I ended up getting some sort of pancake filled with spicy chicken and vegetables. Surprisingly it was very good, but very hot! After dinner, we had another couple beers and eventually ...

... up through the still air. Other little memories are seeing people - particularly around the Hindu temples - feeding the street cats. Maybe it's a 'cats over rats' situation, but the street cats are generally well regarded and looked after in a roundabout sort of way. From a gastrinomical perspective, Penang offers a really mixed bag and some truly excellent street food. From Little India you can get an ...

... yhta aikaa uimassa, ui altaan poikki. Siinahan se siis oli kuin olikin se lyhyempi allas: Mita sita nyt turhaan hienoa olympiamittaista allasta uimaan paasta paahan pituussuunnassa, kun lyhyempikin reitti altaan reunalta toiselle on olemassa? No, Kasperi pystyi kylla vetamaan melkein kaksituntiset pitkan radan harkat, kunhan vain muisti valilla vilkuilla sivuille, ettei sielta tule ketaan eteen. Niin, ne ratakoydethan olivat tietysti siisteina kerina ...

... with black and white faces that looked exactly like the scary man from The League of Gentlemen! When we reached the bottom, we stayed together and had a brilliant day. We visited a batiq factory (/shed), walked along the beach & had some lunch, I played with a horse called Ninja & then got a taxi back to Georgetown. I was feeling knackered and a little bit emotional after having such a good day & having to say goodbye to ...

We thought Georgetown would be a nice and small enough town... unfortunately it was again another big and busy city. But there was lovely scenery around. We did some nice trips to beaches and a National Park, where we went on a Jungle hike. We saw some wildlife and ...

... kiukuttelua ja marinaa. Mutta yllatyksekseni lapsista lahtenyt yhtaan itkua, marinaa tai edes minkaan nakoista levottomuutta ei ollut oikeastaan havaittavissa. Jotenka ei ollutkaan valittamista matkaseuran suhteen... Malesian rajan ylitys meni taas aivan ongelmitta. 3 kuukauden oleskelu lupa tarahti taysin ilmaiseksi. Luulin etta joudun kayttamaan lauttaa etta paasen perille Georgetowniin. Mutta enpas tarvinnutkaan kun joku oli rakentanut saarelle sillan ...

... Gurney Plaza, we realized that it was just a big, modern mall with all the same U.S. stores that we've seen before. This couldn't be the local market everyone was talking about! We took off exploring outside the mall searching for the market but there was none to be found. Once again we got "Penanged"! The only thing we found worth mentioning was a crazy cartoon looking temple (see photo). We had some really tasty ...
