Penang - Things to Do

Penang rocks my world! It's impossible to capture how cool and beautiful it is. I've met up with Josh here and we have a cozy ad above a cafe called Soul Kitchen on Chulia Street.

We are just in time for the Thai water festival. Streets filled with water bottled toting Malay, Indians and Burmese. I didn't know it was so possible to be so wet!

One way to see Penang is skimming around coastlines on a scooter. Josh and I ran down to the local tourist strip, Chulia Street and rented a scooter for 20 ringgit to zoom the pretty hills and beaches..

Monkey Beach is 2 hours hike from Telok Bahang beach, gorgeous! Hiking through raggedy rocks and old, peaceful trees to camp right on the beach and ran off to scavenge for coconuts. Pitching a tent and watching a big, old black storm roll in over the horizon.

Um, many others things have been enjoyed here. Not least of al he fabulous LOvE BUs bonanza and love parade through the streets of Penang.

But here, we enjoyed beachfront yoga, wing chun training, acrobat workshops, dragon dance, thai chi, free Sikkh food, Burmese New Year and of course..music music music...
- hehe - full of love love love!
