Couch Surfing!

First time hosting couch surfers! Interesting idea where one can make more friends by hosting or surfing when you travels anywhere in the world. I've just joined the CS recently when i received a message from Liz about hosting her and friends in Penang.

It wasn't the best time for someone to stay at my place but i'm able to show them around Penang and try out local foods! We had some great time travelling around Penang island, and i've even tried the local transport, Rapid Penang for the first time! Hahaa.. The first day, we went to Botanical Garden, Penang National Park and Chew Jetty. Here's some photos from that day.

The next day, we decided to browse through Sunday morning market at Chowrasta. One of my favourite place to street shoot! 

This is how some vendor dried their chopsticks :P In an old basket on 2 motorbikes


Pity the 'model' huh... caged and locked inside. Lifeless..


We walked pass a local food store, where one guy sells this local breakfast called "Mang Chang Kueh". It's made of flour, sprinkled with sugar, peanuts, canned corns and cooked to perfection under hot plate on a charcoal. 

They love it!


We walked around Georgetown, exploring and visit the street art-drawings on the old buildings by the famous artist, Ernext Zacharevic. Here's some of them. 



Oh and look at this cute little girl.. and i'm disturbing her having breakfast.. sorry!


After Georgetown, we head over to Butterfly Farm for a short visit before rushing back to town to catch the bus to KL. They almost missed the bus due to bad public transport and traffic but thankfully, managed to catch the bus on time with the help of a taxi driver.

Hope you guys enjoyed the trip and tour in Penang, and i'm looking forward to visit you guys in Cambodia one day.

The STARE!

Here's a series of well, the Stare or "what you looking at" face photos taken recently in the morning market of Chowrasta. Two photos that tells different story. Caption? :)


This is quite obvious i would say.. it's either he is naturally grumpy looking? Hot weather? No business-customers? You decide!


This is kinda weird or awkward in a sense, where, he is a monk or could it be, 'questionable monk' if you're looking from that couple point of view. The body language of the couple seems to be showing some contradiction. I dont know the whole story, but you tell me!
