"Penang Experience" Malaysia by floss1

Malaysia Travel Guide: 32,364 reviews and 65,033 photos

<font color="#006699">On the way back to London from New Zealand, we had a weeks stopover in Malaysia. We spent most of our time in Penang. Before I went to Penang, I looked on VT for some information. And I found a really good site by <a href="http://www.virtualtourist.com/m/.120568/?s=s">moomoos</a>. I wrote to her and said thanks for the information, and that I was impressed with her site. She wrote back and suggested we should go for a meal when we arrive, and so we did. She took us to Batu Ferringhi with two of her friends. It was really great talking to her, getting a different perspective of Malaysia. And also she gave me lots of excellent information and what we should do while in Penang. The photo is of us at a beach restaurant. And moomoos is on the right. Rae and I are on the left. The two in the middle were moomoos friends.</font>
