We decided tonight to move up to a hotel in Georgetown and chill out a bit as Bec was starting to get quite sick. After finding a nice place for a reasonable price on wotif.com we went and checked in, organised our train tickets to Singapore and did a wee bit of shopping before settling in for the night

I have been thinking so much about this blog and what I was going to write sometimes it's been good thoughts and sometimes its been bad! For those of you that I am friends with on Facebook, you have probably seen that I moaned a fair bit and when I was doing the moaning I was moaning about Malaysia, which is not really fair. I went to Wigan for 2 …

Moral turpitude or delightful irreverence?

Having had serious reservations about coming to Georgetown, capital of Penang, all I can say is “wish you were here!”
It’s a fascinating mix of the kooky and the magnificent, which creates the most amazing little city. On its outskirts are the slum type tower blocks and in the middle is a vibrant centre jam packed with …

... dennoch nicht von Erfolg gekrönt. Für mich gab es aber immerhin die nötige neue Sonnenbrille und einen rosaroten Regenschirm, um den folgenden Wassermassen zu trotzen. Cigdem fand ein weiteres paar Ohrringe, so dass wir nun beide mit zwei wundervollen neuen Schmuckstücken aus Malaysia ausgestattet sind.

Nach diesem umfangreichen Einkaufsbummel war es Zeit für die obligatorische Zwischenmalzeit in Form eines Eises. Bereits am Vortag waren wir über einen süßen Laden ...

    Nice Hotel, Great Views, Poor Service

    We moved to this hotel from the Hong Ping and what sold it was the amazing view from the room on the 16th floor. The hotel was nice and of a similar standard to a 3 star hotel at home (UK) The service however was bad, staff were very ignorant and in no way wanted to help with anything! Also the rooms have WIFI at a shocking charge of 15RM per 24 hours (about £3) It's free in the lobby, although logs you out about every 5 mins...PAIN!
