17th – 20th Nov – Kuala Lumper
We arrived by bus which took a little over 4 hours, from the bus station we got a taxi to our hotel which turned out to be really nice for the price we paid and it was in a good location. That afternoon we went in search for little India and China town. We came…

Penang AKA Dinnertown
We arrived into the main port in Penang around 9pm, and headed for a guesthouse that was recommended to us. The star lodge was reasonably priced (50rm/fan), clean enough and the staff were friendly. The first morning we headed on a walking tour of Georgetown, stopping at the museum and a fabulous mansion house in…
