During this semester break, we have visited Pulau Pinang, a part of Penang state (Malaysia). Our trip is 3 days and 2 nights. We left UTP at 8 am on Saturday 10th March and came back on 12th March. First we take a bus to Ipoh, then we continue to Betterworth. After we reach Butterworth, we take a furry to P. Pinang. We reached there around 3 pm. After we reach there, we went to Komta, one of the supermarket there, to have lunch. after finishing our lunch, we went to the hotel we'd booked. After settled down, around 6 pm, we went to the chinese temple. after that we went to Plaza Gurney to have our diner and shopping. Around 10 pm, the supermarket is closed and we need to go back to the hotel. Since we've asked the taxi driver for info, we were told that we can walk from Plaza Gurney to hotel. First we decide to walk, but after a while we almost ended up with losing our way to the hotel. At last, some of us took taxi and some took bus to the hotel.
The second day, we went to the snake temple in the morning. There, we met 3 Cambodian. They went there to join a conference. We had a small talk before we continue our trip. After that, we went to Pinang Hill. We had our lunch there. I ate Laksa Penang, the favorite food there. after we had our lunch, we took a train to the top of the hill. from the top. we can see the whole view of P. Pinang. We leave there around 1:30 pm. After that we went to butterfly farm; then we went to Burmese pagoda. After that, we went to the sleeping temple, just opposite the Burmese pagoda. Sleeping temple is a Thai pagoda with the statue of Sleeping Buddha. After we spend some time there, we went to the beach around 3 pm. We stayed at the beach till the evening (of course we didn't swim). Around 7 pm we had our diner and at 8pm we left the beach. 3 of us went back to the hotel since they were tired, and the rest of us (including me) went to shopping mall again. We shopped till they closed the mall. At night, we play card together till 2 am. It was so fun.
On the third day, we had breakfast at the hotel. After that we checked out, and went to Gunung bus station. We leave there at 12 pm. From P.Pinang to Butterworth, we we across the Penang bridge , on of the longest bridge in the world with the length of 13.5km. We arrive Ipoh at 2 pm. Since it is still hot, we decided not to go back to our university immediately. We went to Ipoh Perade (one of the shopping mall in Ipoh). The Japanese food there is not expensive. I end up eating Japanese most of the time i went there. We left Ipoh at 6 pm and we arrived our university at 7 pm. Even it was a tired trip, but had so much fun.
