has spent so much time to the trip "Toccata and Fugue" in Malaysia, the memory still fresh of the bus is that the team that brought us crammed in 18 instead of 11! A desperate escape from the rear window asaporare a little air and the arrival of that night in Georgetown.
Penang is also known as "The island of a thousand temples". A number will not be so exorbitant, but a believer of any religion, seized by sudden raptus mystic, we do not have that choice. A mosque, a Chinese temple, a Baptist or Lutheran church, a Hindu or Buddhist temple, located at each corner.
Does not exist in practice in a way which does not breathe a breath of sanctity, where the perfume and incense took they do not mix with the most profane and land cooking smells rising from the stalls and hundreds of small restaurants scattered throughout corner of the island. But you must not think of Penang island as a boring and dedicated only to the problems of the spirit. If here in the seventies, flourished one of the largest community of hippies, there is a reason.
Penang is fun, lively, has a lively, enchanting is a hymn to the shopping with its modern shopping malls and hundreds of stalls and small markets that offer the most various articles.
Penang has a fine colonial past and a future tourist elite, is the black and white photo of an old Malaysia, several years ago, and is also a concentration of modern Asia within a few square kilometers, where almost everything is really a Inexpensive.
