The Weekend that Was

Just back from Penang.

RM110 later,

4½ hours busing it there 

and another 5 hours back,

but it was worth every moment

Accompanied by "Maneki Neko"

we hoofed it to Chulia Street from the jetty,

to find a place to bunk for the night

First place was at Day & Night...

I stayed here a few nights last year

and it was affordable and comfortable

for RM30, we got this room (cooled by fan)

and the bathroom with heater...

This little cozy place can be found facing 

which got its name not so much from love but..

the "prosperity" of olden Chinese man

and just outside, you can find this stall

which includes this yummy treat

though I must say it looks better than it tastes

and yet it is still a good eat and not overly done..

meaning I could always go for seconds without getting sick of it

but the reason we were there was to experience this event

Bon Odori.... 

One of the few good things left from the occupation by the Japanese

but more on that later as I got to rush

but before I go,

I leave you with my favourite shot from the trip

have a good week ahead!
