This is Thursday so it must be Penang, Malaysia. We did the sightseeing of Georgetown by Trishaw! The seats are not meant for westerners after 33 days of gorging on a cruise ship! We shopped for some wine, visited an opulent Chinese (Taoist) residence, tried to assimilate some history in the museum and by osmosis downloaded local culture. Tolerance and peaceful coexistence between Chinese, Indians and Malays further supported the claim that Penang is the "Pearl of the Orient".
We are leaving port again early evening to sail to Kaula Lampur. At least tomorrow we will have the same currency that we had today (the ringgit). It has been a challenge to keep up with changing currencies and exchange rates. What FUN we are having!!!
