Day: 454
We are trying to love Penang… we really are. Yet after hours of walking around in the insane heat we stand dumbfounded on it’s street corners and wonder, “WTF?”
About two-thirds of the town seems deserted and everything seems empty, the “sights” are lackluster, the buses are empty, and the people are quiet. At first we thought we had stumbled here on some sort of holiday, but after some inquiry we found that not to be true. Penang just seems to be floundering in this horrible tourist/economic crisis, and the H1N1 scares aren’t helping either.
After hours of sweaty walking we found a local “White Coffee” house and indulged in its luxurious air conditioning while we tried to figure out our day. We decided on an afternoon shower/nap combo and a more exciting night.
At least the food is cheap and company is awesome, hopefully tomorrow we can stumble across something to entertain us.
