Leaning Tower








Last destination before heading home we stopped by Teluk Intan. This is the leaning tower of Teluk Intan. The structure was built in the 1800's. It has sinced been restored unused due to its unstable foundation that causes it to slant one side.

Sundown


As I think about my sunshine as she dances the night away to some tango music. How much I miss her. Her heart as colorful and rich as the sky above. Longing to feel her touch again I wait and wait until the day I will see her again. In my arms where she belongs. Goodnight sweetheart, see you in the morning.

The Waterfall


Heres our journey to the waterfall as we get closer.


THey called this waterfall Lata Kinjang. We wanted to stop by on the first day of our trip but decided to hit it on the way back.















Cemetery




The red circle is where Francis Light lies. Hes a british who founded Penang. This cemetery was within walking distance from my hotel. It was peaceful under the shady trees despite the heavy traffic outside the walls.











Lunch



Durian









We climbed this mountain by car and tried some durian. We orderd seven and finished them all within six of us. THats alot of durian. Most i have eaten in my entire life. What a delicacy. I cant remember when the last time i was standing underneath a durian tree but again are you sure you wanna after seeing those thorny fruits. Each could weigh up to 25lbs. Trust me thats suicide if you ask me.

By the sea







Penang















So we ventured around Penang and I was most interested in the older architectures of Penang and the heavy culture of the chinese settlers in the city. Here are some historical buildings that are homes, convenient stores, restaurants and some parts of the city theres modern hip hang out joints in these architectures.
