From KL we sojourned north to the island of Panang. Here we settled for a few days in the colonial town of George Town. First photo on the left is an abandoned colonial building. It was the first 4-storey house on the island. Over the years it housed a school and a hotel. Now the roof is caved in and the jungle is beginning to take it back. UNESCO better got to work!
Of course no pictorial representation of SE Asia is complete without a shot of a squat. That hose - yeah, that would be a bidet.
When we travel we have a penchant for going to certain type of establishment we NEVER visit at home - the shopping mall. Here I am next to a most curious display.
The remaining two shots are scenes of George Town, Panang. Hands down - this is the friendliest place we traveled. Everyone on the street said hello as they passed. Not because they wanted to sell us anything - they just wanted to say hello.
So sweet! We also watched the launch of the first Malaysian astronaut. We thought it was quite a big deal, but Soma said it was really just a waste of tax dollars. The "astronaut" was nothing more than a state-sponsored space-tourist.
