When: 8th March 2009 To 13th March 2009
Where: Penang, Malaysia
Hotel: G Hotel
So, now I am back to a foreign land. This time its again the Asain country. Malaysia. Hmm, actually not a travelogue, but just thought of sharing the experiance I had in Penang during this visit.
Although I have already visited this country, I never had a chance to visit Penang. This time, I got the oppurtunity for that. I reach Penang through air via Kaulalumpur from Bangalore. You need to complete the Immigration procedures in KL itself.
Leaving Kuala Lumpur
Reaching Penang
Then take the domestic terminal and reach Penang. Its just an hour flight. By the time you finish the Wafer & Peanut they provide, you will asked to fasten the seat belt for landing!!!
There you go, Landing
I reach here at 10am. Passed through the customs and arrived the arrival hall. You have a prominent Taxi Service booth waiting to serve you. Went to the place and booked a taxi for my hotel. Its G-Hotel in George Town. They charged my 38MYR. Good system. Its a pre-paid service and you show the slip to the cab driver outside and he drops you to the destination. Hassle free trip.
Hotel Lobby
When I reach the hotel, initially the receptionist mentions that the room is not ready and will be available only by 2pm since its the Check-in time. I was wondering what to do. It was just 11am. Anyway, even before I complete the formalities, she said only one King size room is ready and I can check-in if I am ok. A big smile in my face. Get the key, Oops card, go the 11th Floor where my room is. 11'o clock in 11th floor
It was a wonderful room and had a good view to the ocean as well. Time to refresh. Called my home, informed about my safe arrival and refreshed myself.
Went out for a short walking in the hot sun. I noticed that the traffic even at this time (12noon) is too much. No space to walk or cross the road also. Probably because of the Sunday fever. Not sure.
Then joins my co-worker from US. Around 2pm, we both started to explore the location. We wanted to have something to eat on the road side and ence we walk along the beach. We found a good place called Coffee island for lunch. It took almost 1 hour to get our food. Then we again started to walk along the same beach and clicking the pics.
Some amature trying for the Panaromic view
Walking along the beach
My Network follows!!!
Oh God, Please make my day!
After a long walk we returned hotel and started to work to complete the items for the customer. Then evening we left to the Hawkers shop. Wow, so much of varieties, fish, meat, shark etc etc...

We tried a little bit of this and that and some was really good. When we were really hungry we deciced to get to the hotel for the dinner. it as a pretty nice restaurant. Almost empty. We went and I had Cumin Fish Fillet. Umm, it was delicious. My friend had some Green soup with chicken. It was late night when we are done, went straight to sleep.
