Malaysia - Penang

It takes about 9 hours of coach ride from Singapore to Penang. It is really a torture. It is a peaceful place. I has a nice beach and it is really scenic during low tide. It has 2 main shopping centres if I did not remember wrongly. Food is relatively cheap. I tried its famous Penang Laksa and to my disappointment, it does not live up to its reputation. The worst thing is that the stall that I went to was very well-known. This could be seen by the number of customers and the long waiting time. After some pondering, I came to a conclusion that there was nothing wrong with the food. It is me who have a weird taste. Haha.

I visited the famous temple, Ji2 Le4 Si4. It was really impressive. The place is indeed quite good for cultivation. It is very scenic too. It is at the outskirts and not many taxis are willing to make the trip. Besides, it is even more difficult to get a taxi back to the city. As a result, I had to take the bus. The experience can be quite interesting as I am able to slow down and observe the different walks of life.
