Not a very good nights sleep last night. It's really hot & humid here and I had to shut the window cos the mozzies fancied me! Plus the bed was a little..... well lets just say I woke up this morning with more back & sciatica pain than I've had so far this trip.
However I went down to the shopping centre this morning looking for a newer guidebook (my south east Asia shoestring is from 2001 - before the tsunami and floods of 2005)! On the way down I was pleasantly surprised by how many of the locals said hello or bid you a good morning. Georgetown really has a good feel about it. There are people of many origins & cultures here making it a truly cosmopolitan experience. I managed to obtain a new copy of Lonely planets Malaysia, Singapore & Brunei which coupled with the Thailand one that Stu & Keera gave to Lee & Lex (thanks guys) who have subsequently passed to me now they have no further use for it should see me right this trip.
Above are a couple piccies. Last nights dinner in the Little India district of the city. A vegetarian meal Served on a banana leaf. I'm not a convert yet but this wasn't my first veggie meal. After tucking into what I think was chickens ball bags & testicles in a Thai bus station Veggie may be the way to go! I've also had omelet and these weird barbecued eggs in Pai that were excellent which is weird because I can't stand eggs normally. The eggs in Pai were wicked. They knock a little hole in the egg and drain it out, mix the white & yolk together, add some spice or something, put it back in the shell and bake it over a barbecue - real tasty!
Other piccie was a local man preparing the days ice. He gets a huge block and cuts it into manageable sized blocks to load on his trishaw for delivery around town.
