it's actually a trip organized by my college.
Overall, the trip was awesome although I think it could have been better. It was tiring as I have to do alot of walking here and there but which I dont actually mind doing.
We stayed in Pulau Jerejak which is just a 10 mins ferry ride from the Penang mainland.
So basically, I was staying in another island opposite Penang island hahhah.
I wasn't too happy about the idea of staying in Pulau Jerejak because its constricts our time to visit more places and too hang out more longer in tourism places in Penang, all because we're afraid we might miss the ferry back to our hotel.
No doubt the picturesque and the scenery in Penang is lovely and vastly beautiful with its natural looking mountains and beaches.
With Penang bridge that compliments the whole view of the Island.
The Island is filled with its natural green pastures as well and the cool breeze just calms your heart with the sound of the ocean.
Sounds relaxing, doesn't it?
Even the buildings and structures there are very British looking( since the British govern Penang last time; history) designs and very neoclassical.
The city definitely gives you the "very happening" vibe and there are much less traffic jams hahha. I realized there are more buses than taxi vehicles.
The tourist guide brought us to visit many tourism places such as the Fort Cornwallis (where the statue of Sir Francis Light is), Gurney Drive, Kek Lok Si Temple, Air Hitam, Penang Hill, Batu Ferringhi's beach and night market and many more.
What I favor the most was the culture and the food, especially in Gurney Drive and Air Hitam. The food was pretty much awesome hehe : ) I ate so much and just so you know, you can find almost everything nice to eat in Gurney Drive.
With various hawker stalls selling delicious Penang food for instance, kuew teow, chendul, Ma Zhi( the one with the sesame seed), Apom, Rojak, sotong, asam laksa and many more.
I literally ate so much on that night :D
Also, I visited the famous Asam Laksa that was in Air Hitam : ) Its spiciness and its savory flavor made me sweat hahha.
