Penang arrival


I made it safely into Penang. It’s very warm and very very humid. I thought some of you (especially Renee) might get a kick out of the banner hanging over the doorway in Penang customs. Remember, Malaysia is a Muslim country, with a lot of Buddhists, Hindu and Confucianists living here also.

It looks like food will be very cheap here. I was so tired from the trip I knew I would order room service and was afraid it might be expensive. How about a steak sandwich, fries, ginger ale, fresh squeezed apple juice and a half liter of Evian for the equivalent of $12 U.S.? From room service! Of course some things have to be a little different; the steak sandwich came with tartar sauce and cucumbers on it.
