Flew down earlier in the week from Bangkok to the island of Penang just near the top of the Malaysian Peninsula.  Have been wandering around the town, experiences the sights of little india, aswell as the chinatown, along with this the numerous different food options avaiable.
Yesterday I took the bus along the north coast of the island to visit the beach at Batu Ferringi which was pleasant and certainly hot and humid in the midday sun. Staying here the rest of the week as lots to see and photograph and just enjoying the general laid back vibe of the colonial town.
