Penang 2007

Phew... Ventures are back from Penang!

Actually this time round its only me, Darren and Ben but we still had fun though :)

Visited many interesting places,

and ate many tasty street hawker foods.

This is a brief outline of what we did/visited/ate:

Chowrasta market
Komtar + Prangin mall
Khoo Kong Si
Penang Hill hike
Botanical Garden
Kek Lok Si
Penang (most) famous Laksa
Bought many tau sar piah
Queensbay mall
Gurney plaza
A&W (can't find in sg, so yeah)
St. Xavier's Institution (SXI, Ara's sekolah)
Victoria Memorial Clock Tower
Wisma Kastam Building
Kuan Yin Teng
Little Sisters of the Poor (CIP)

...just to name a few.

We also stayed at Malcolm's place for a night and played with the dog ;)

The hike up Penang hill in my opinion was the most interesting,
especially when we attempted to take the tram down hill, it broke down.
We even had to walk down one section of the tracks!
I bet normal tourists don't get to experience that haha

We visited the Scout HQ in Penang, and chatted a little with the office folks.
They said that next time we could apply to them in advance, and get free lodging x)

We missed out on some attractions due to Hari Raya, but we still accomplished
a lot more than we expected, especially with a 3-man crew.


This is all I can remember now!

Till then, ciao.

p.s. Photos are up. See 'em here.
