did i mention that we saw some of the historical/touristy sites in Penang?

Protestant cemetery from the 18th century

with some famous "residents" - many who were British or Dutch settlers that died of Malaria and other random tropical weather related illnesses. The husband of Anna from the "King and I" is buried here.

Gravestone of Francis Light (in the middle), founder of Penang.

a crazy second hand book-emporium with tiny stalls and literally floor to ceiling books - anything you could want in almost any language and that I can only describe as a huge fire hazard

and local stalls. Here Amelleia and I are attempting to procure some batik sarongs
