Long travelling day to Penang, Malaysia
Okay, something I have to point out about Asia so far is that it's so hard to communicate! It's as though they try purposely to not understand you and often give you the wrong thing. After stopping at the 7/11 this morning for breakfast, me and my friend went to go and buy a cup of tea.
