Penang

OOOH YEAH!! I want everybody to freak out, freak out! The Macho Man is right here and I'm gonna take it to the limit, yeah!!"- so we are in Penang.. Georgetown is really interesting much more authentic chinese culture and style than in Singapore or KL lovely old colonial buildings and forts combine with old Chinese temples and lovely Chinese style housings. The gently crumbling but largely intact shophouses of George Town offer a glimpse into the town's colonial times; a time when it attracted pirates intellectuals, merchants and prostitutes. (last night saw two lady boys with knives sat on the corner of Love lane) yesterday we got a rickshaw around the city with an old man who was very mch into giving us his life story from the third person... took us to a lovely temple called Leong San Tong Khoo Kongsi where they filmed a film called Anna and the King and then to an old fishing village built on stilts stretching into the sea and where the Chinese have lived for centuries... very fascinating abit like stepping back in time... wooden houses,stilts, just the swell of the sea and stench of fish, the city seemed to be far away. Rach and i both had an amazing time with this old man and his stories we were sad to leave but he probably gives the same story to hundreds of different people every year and is probably plying his trade as we speak.... spent one nightime having a cobra massage with babyoil in my room at 1 am!!! to release the power of the cobra from a man called crazy doc banazonooka it was good... he said that rach would outlive me, and that i will have 3 children...... shoulders are good... but neck is weak... must sleep without a pillow on a hardbed.... must eat bananas and avoid ice............ fish/fairy.blogspot.com::::: A round man cannot be expected to fit in a square hole right away. He must have time to modify his shape.
