Monday, July 15

This afternoon my family and I arrived in Penang, Malaysia . The sun was shining and hot, so we decided to hit the beach near our hotel.

My sister and I went to try paragliding and skydiving. I felt like flying like a bird. This stuff is so exciting! For lunch we had something very special: Malaysian yellow noodles. Very tasty/yummy.

In the afternoon we rode bicycles to Georgetown. There are many new buildings here now, as well as many old houses. In Weld Quay, in George Town, a truly ancient place, we saw the houses where Chinese merchants lived more than a hundred years ago. I wonder what life was like in the past. I really enjoyed walking around this town.

What an extraordinary day! Dad and I decided to go to Penang Mountain. We wanted to walk to the top of the mountain, but then it started to rain lightly, so we took the train to the top of the mountain instead. We waited for more than an hour at the train station because there were too many people taking the train. While we were waiting for the top of the mountain, it was raining really hard. We didn't bring an umbrella so we got wet and cold. What bad luck! We couldn't eat anything because of the bad weather. My father didn’t bring enough money, so we had to eat a bowl of fish and rice. I'm very hungry, but this meal tastes good.
