Hi All

whilst my wife is still half cut on cocktails i thought i would send a quick update.
Now in Penang - which is Malaysia again, in a big hotel right on the beach which is a bit like a hotel that could be found in Benidorm but you all know that I do love doing the Macarena with Shirley and Deidre from Wigan!!!!

Really not very much to do in Penang. Walked around the city, sampled the chocolate boutique and went up Penang Hill on the tram. Nice enough but nothing to write home about and was pleased to move on to new scenery!!

As for Penang, you should visit Penang Hill, Kek Lok Si Temple, Batu Feringhi-watersports and night markets and most importantly, the local foods, it's famous for that.Langkawi would be a good bet from penang too. Boat ride would take almost 3 hrs from penang.Depends on the weather, the sea could be choppy. You can put up a few nights there and ...

So I awake this morning to yet more torrential rain splashing against the wire window we have in the shack!! It's so noisy without glass...

Anyway decided that it looks like it might rain forever...if you were here you would see that this was a more than believable thought...so we packed up our belongings and began the long trek back to c...

Now I understand why Britney Spears had that frustrated and confused look on her face in all the photographs when she shaved all her hair off, no one was listening when she was screaming "It was the Malaysian hair stylist, he wrecked my hair!!!".

This mini bus at least had air-conditioning an...

Alrighty rooo...so i had a busy one day tour of Georgetown compliments of myself. It's a very big island connected to the mainland with a longggggg bridge (10km, dunno really). The main city, Georgetown has lots of skyscrapers, busy roads...and very very helpful people. I couldn't seem to go anywhere without someone asking if i needed help or wh...

Yes, I went to Penang (yet again) but this time, it is for work purpose..

On the bus toward Penang, an island that was once famous for its Beetlenut production and the East Indian Company, we realized that 2 friends of ours from Daniels Lodge were on the bus too, heading to Penang as well. It was a long bus ride - the bus was an hour late and the ride was 7 hours long; then we had to get our packs and walk them onto t...

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 down the street from our apartment. It was our first chinese wedding and we learned plenty. We at...
