a Peninsula with the capital Georgetown, where we surfed the "couch" in a hostel (free) with bakery in the middle of Little India (photos).
Beautiful lighting on the waterfront, where we were hit on by (at least) 16 year old (pass with all mopeds).
prohibition signs, etc are not so strictly followed here (at the tourist. RED GARDEN NIGHT MARKET).
In the morning we had a long conversation with our host Jerry about the different development of Asians (up to about 30, they age more slowly, then faster, or equal) and the subject VISA came up again. So anyway, we learned that we really get only 15 days when we travel to Thailand by land and Penang is the last stop on of the 60 days we could get a visa. But bad luck, it was weekends and Monday is a Muslim. Holiday.
In this mosque, we had a free tour, followed by discussion on Islam. When I asked whether it would be easy for him, entirely to give up alcohol, he stated the following: In Paradise there is a river full of milk and honey etc and alcohol as much as you want. Aha, a rather childish view of life after death. I did not realize that they do not eat pork because they believe that it is indestructible by boiling parasites and worms that enter through the consumption in their blood stream and make them sick (in age). Okaaayyy. through Chinatown we went over an old chines. Settlement on the water to the Shopping Center.
The next morning we were with the couch surfers Kendra and Ken to a chines. Dim Sum breakfast appointment. Wow, good experience, but I have to (am) not have again. Asians eat so morning, noon and night the same thing: greasy, deep-fried, "yellow", has chopped etc. tasted it went mostly with a full stomach's in the BOTANICAL GARDEN to the monkey.
Kendra has us driving around all day and showed us all sorts TEMPLE. It has helped us very much interesting about the various Buddhas ceremonies, prayers, ... told.
between, we were on a morning market with a great break / street dance show.
the Siamese temple BUPPHARAM there was a lot to see strange things. You think 
n REALLY that this is the body of a monk who died during the prayer / meditation and by his abilities in the dead still remain so (for decades). No wonder, when you learn to what they do else do so (bad Buddhas walking around in the apartment and all sorts of Rent, etc.). Veeeery interesting. And why must we pay for then his luck ever? (See photos: the 2.groesste SLEEPING BUDDHA).

THAI BUDDHIST TEMPLE WAT CHAIYAMANGALARAN In:
In the market we Kendra has also ordered 2 more "delicious". iiih on their food, they are really very proud Penang:
CHENDOL = crushed ice cubes angefaerbt with different tastes, with some jelly beans and corn about it AND
the name of the next dish I've forgotten or repressed. It is sour fruit and vegetables with octopus and Shrimpsauce.
Then I went through the beautiful city center to the tourist / tourist district into a market where we would have approached the food more. But there was also another view.
We still have a couple of couch surfer in a bar with a view taken over the city and it was even a song sung for us.
THAT was a beautiful, even more instructive last day in Penang and I am really feeling the peninsula and their cultures, religions etc. fairly met to have.
