Georgetown

On the morning of day six I had two hours to experience Georgetown, Penang before ferrying back across to Butterworth to get the Thai train.

What an awesome city. It reminds me a bit of Asuncion, Paraguay. Some very old, worn out buildings, lots of scooters and traffic randomness, friendly people, good food and hot weather.

I went for a wander, got lost, got found, ate a breakfast of chicken noodle soup and three layer tea, got some Malaysian ringgit and Thai baht (Man I love $1000 notes!! Ha. In singas NZ 100 got sgp 100, here it gets lottts more).

I managed to see a whole bunch of sights thanks to an old Chinese man who rode me around on a tricycle. Very cool.
