Bags packed and ready to hit Georgetown in Penang, Malaysia
Passports in hand
And the beard keeps growing, (insert Go Canucks Go)
And as per usual when arriving in Malaysia there was a down pour. The driver told us this was very unusual of course and it should pass shortly
The hotel we stayed at. Very nice
Comfy bed
Spacious plus very cool windows
And best of all a whirly tub, which surprisingly enough was Barbara's favorite spot in the room
Oh yeah the rain didn't "stop shortly"
It lasted for at least three rounds of drinks
Finally after it stops we headed out and found that we were just steps from the restaurant that made Malaysia
And they had the Crazy Set Dinner for 19.90 ringgit, that's like $7.00 sing. CRAAAZY
Clan house
Ice house, yeah that's the ice sitting on the ground in the 33 degree Celsius heat with 100% humidity. How long do you think its gonna last?
Some of the buildings were very colorful.This one must have been special since it had some kind of map or board saying what it was out front, I didn't read it of course, I just take the pictures and move on
a license plate for a rickshaw, love it
Night outside of another clan house. They turned on the lights to let people know that they were starting Kung Fu class
Is that politically correct..
Now this I loved. I didn't notice it at first but when I did I cracked up. You can even see the hockey sticks in the guys hands. I'm thinking that someone bought this off e bay
Kinda hard to make a call without a receiver
Free loaders
Taxi stand Georgetown style
Girl on a bridge, my girl on a bridge, even better
Government building
I'm sure that they've upgraded the national defense
Tempting
I love the electricians works, exposed wires in a country that an average of 80% humidity year round, oh yeah this is also a tourist area, Liability suit anyone
My Sandinista ready for battle
They're just cool
As was the Blue Mansion
I took as many pics as I could before I was shut down by security
Sounds good to me
I bet with an oil change and some fresh gas this baby would hum, its a Kawasaki after all
Inside another clan house
A little creepy but what ever
Chicken for dinner, a little rubbery but...
Lets shine a little light on the subject
I liked this picture and then I looked a little closer and liked it a bit more
What the hell is he sticking up his nose
Preparing for a ride in a rolling coffin of death, aka rickshaw
They are smiling now
Then they realized they were going the wrong way down a one way street
We were headed to the E&O Hotel to have a beverage. The driver pointed at this and said it there it is. I was a little disapointed
This was right next door, obviously what he was pointing at. Good thing I would have had a real problem paying 17 dollars for a pint of guiness in the other place. Hell I had a problem paying 17 dollars for a pint of guiness here who am I kidding
The girls drink G&T's, Did I mention we met up with Harriet and a friend of hers Frith
I just had to
White House Hotel, you think Obama stays here when he comes to Malaysia
An upscale taxi
Amazing what cameras have come too when you look at where they came from
Back garden of the hotel
Pineapple anyone
Sidewalk in Georgetown
Enough said
Nice setting for a dinner party, maybe some of that chicken from before
Who do you think is in there
A patio we would love to have
Another tardis
Polka dot bamboo
Crayons
A lovely afternoon snack
spoons
And we are done
Just before the rain
A few random picks around Georetown
Our own personal street
Bubbles bubbles
Keeping up with the game in the morning with a cuppa nescafe
Nice doors
If you ever need a pill this is the place to go
Some more of that lovely wiring
One last sunset
The gang after our final meal together at an Itallian restaurant, Barbara's suggestion, and 4 bottles of wine! The perfect way to finish off our trip to Penang.Next stop Yogyakarta, Indonesia to visit Borobudur and the worlds largest Buddhist monument, very excited, but let me put everyones minds to rest, I shall not miss a Stanley Cup final game
GO CANUCKS GO
