Penang

Went to Penang on thursday for an inspection trip. It was really short trip, I flew there in the morning and came back in the evening. Didnt have much time to go sightseeing but I did manage to cross from Penang island to the mainland...not on the penang bridge but on the ferry.

On the vehicle ferry to mainland. Its really cool and to my surprise it is quite a nice way to get across instead of using the Penang bridge which I heard is always jammed up in the morning.

A similar ferry passing by in the other direction.

The Penang bridge at the left side....very blur due to the morning fog.

From this view, it reminds me of Hongkong victoria harbour though not as beautiful.

After crossing to the mainland, I went straight to work. Then after lunch, I did abit of shopping but not at Georgetown. Its a pity I didnt get to go there...oh well. After that, went straight back to the airport to wait for my flight. Everytime I visit parts of Malaysia, I always feel that these places seemed stuck in time. The buildings, the people...they seemed so 70s...living such simple kampung/small town life. I wonder if its a good thing sometimes...not living in a city ...but enjoy life at a much slower pace...hmm
