Penang

mini-bus trip to penang yesterday was some experience, driver trying to make up for being slow in getting out of Krabi, drove like an f-ing maniac, was driving in middle of road for most of it, dodging bikes and cars on both-sides of the road! hotel, though its same rate as one we stayed in bangkok, is much nicer and decent, have a proper toilet and shower, there's actually a shower basin!and trurning the tap for hot water, actual warm water came out, 11th floors up imagine!

Penang is nice but not much to it, will do us for a couple of nites anyway. Food, room-rates similar to thailand, but beer more expensive. heading to kuala lumpar in morning (via another bus) for 3 nites. were meant to be heading up to Cameron highlands but plans changed as bus strike at moment with company that runs it. prob goin to stop off in Melaka now instead before Singapore.

Woke up with another bite on my leg this morning, and I thought the ants mite be gone, and got bitten this afternoon by something on my arm. christ i'm wrecked and its only 5pm, time for a nap before heading out I think. later, kevin
