Malayisa - Penang / Georgetown (27 Feb - 3 March)

(Flew from Manchester to Kuala Lumpur, then to Penang island in northwest Malaysia.)
- Had a ride on a weird trishaw things (felt like we were floating)
- Went to a deserted beach in a half-closed resort and had a lovely warming curry before sunbathing. Rory thinks he was nipped by a jellyfish, a bit later some random old man picked a dead jellyfish out of the water and stabbed it to death with a stick.
- Saw lots of temples. Went up Penang hill by cable train.
- Locals were dead friendly (alomst too friendly...), especially when we looked lost at street food stalls, they often took pity on us and gave us nice food. Except when we got a plate of oyster foo yung (omlette?) on our first night - still makes me gag thinking about it.
