Penang Trip

Two day one night Penang trip, on 31st of May 2008, my friend and I went to Penang. Penang is a state in Malaysia, and located on the northwest coast of Peninsular Malaysia, by the Strait of Malacca. Penang is the second smallest state in Malaysia after Perlis, and the eighth most populous.

My first time drive to Penang, around 3.30 am, my friend and I depart from Subang Tol, and around 7.30 am, we arrived at Penang Bridge.
