Going Back to Kuala Lumpur

Tuesday, 16 May 2006
Time to go back to Kuala Lumpur. "Transnasional" bus leave Penang island (Georgetown) at 10:00 am. There were only 5 of us: Uncle Ni, Sister Monica, an Australian couple and myself............ plus the driver = 6!


Crossing the longest bridge in Asia - Penang bridge - 15 km.


Entering the mainland - Butterworth - and onto the highway to Kuala Lumpur.



Back in Kuala Lumpur traffic jam and entering the bus terminal in Puduraya.

Penang Street

Tuesday, 16 May 2006
The famous street in the city - Penang Street!



Walked into a shop lot (temple) of "Krishna & Radha".


Making Spring Roll 'skin'.


Got to take a picture of this shop. I was attracted to the colour and the external design. It was different from the other shops that I saw in the street.


And on the way back to our hotel, this beautiful decorated trishaw caught my eyes!

Chew Jetty

The trishaw peddlar walked with us on the Chew jetty and took a picture of us, before he left us.

I am glad I took a picture of the ship. I like this picture.

Khoo Kongsi

Monday, 15 May 2006
Uncle Ni was tired, so me and Sister Monica decided to explore Penang by ourselves, by trishaw! The following picture was taken at our last stop (Chew Jetty). It was just after rain and so the peddlar had it covered before he walked with us on the Chew Jetty.


I am glad that he brought us to the Khoo Kongsi. It is one of the tourist place of interest.


The crying and the laughing monks!

Penang Hill

Sunday, 14 May 2006
Last place of visit for the day was Penang Hill. By the time we walked from the Goddess of Mercy temple to the ticketing office, to buy our cable car tickets to the top of the Penang Hill, it was past 7:00 pm. The sun was setting but nevertheless I managed to get some pictures! A beautiful quiet place to unwind!

"Goddess of Mercy" Temple

Sunday, 14 May 2006
Visited another Buddhist temple worshipping the deity "Kuan Yin" which is the Goddess of Mercy. The statue of "Kuan Yin" reminded me of the statue of Liberty in United States.










Views of Penang from the temple:
