Penang -> Kota Bharu

4-8.2.2012

I had heard so many good things about Penang, mainly about the food here. Was really excited. And I am happy to confirm that Penang is an absolute must for anyone crazy about good food. The food courts here offer absolutely everything from sushi to exquisit mongolian chicken with mashed potatoes 😛 just yammy.

This will be food and transport update, as there was nothing else much to report in 4 days 🙂

Georgetown (yrjönkylä)

Apparently these large wooden figures are burned regularly in the name of god or dead. Anyway, they look and smell amazing!

The colours here are, again, amazing. I am not missing the concrete/red brick hell and pastel colours back home.

THE food court. trust me, the expression on our faces does not reflect the quality of the food here. Actually, I don’t know what it reflects 😀 maybe that Finnish guys are not big smilers?

Looking for love at the…

Took a picture of this run down place in case we will be back in a year or two, as they seemed to do a complete renovation on the place. I want to see what they are building.

Can’t help but wonder how great it would be to buy one of these places and turn it to a kick-ass guesthouse… ah. one day maybe.

After 3 days of constant indulgement on the selection of foods, it was time to move on towards the east coast, destination Perhentian islands paradise.

But first, it was a 16-hour bus ride…

…and another night in Kota Bharu.

Simple but beautiful aestethics (Kota Bharu).
