Penang trip..Part 1

I've been to Penang for a 3 days and 2 nights trip with a bunch of good friends.
It's nice to be away from the hectic city once in a while where you can relax your mind and have a slower pace of life just for a moment.

We took the ever famous Transnational bus from Jalan Duta Bus station all the way to Sg Nibung bus station in penang. The journey took us around 4 hours. Overall it is comfortable. I slept and slept and slept in the bus. Full meaning of a pig. The bus that looks like the one we took.This is the pit stop for toilet
We checked in Gurney hotel. The view of our room.Nice rite?Then we go for the ever famous Harr mee.. They called it Hokkien mee here.. strange..
Our next stop is Botanical garden aka kebun bunga in Malay.The people must had failed their Malay when they are doing the translation. Overall they had nice scenery and all the monkeys running around.
Managed to get a few snaps of monkey while they are busy eating rambutans. Don't play play mann they are damm fierce.
Travel companion..On the not so famous "Penang bridge".
Then we head up to Batu Feringgi.There are super long lines of small stalls. Be sure to bargain, if not they will chop your head off .
We had dinner there as well. The food looks delicious?
Food, food, and food!!!
That's all for day 1, will update soon for part 2..
