Getting lost on a Friday

[Friday August 27th]
Sandy (my Australian customer) and I took an impromptu drive up to Georgetown. We got lost on the way and stopped at a random restaurant. The food was pretty good but no one there spoke English! We didn't know what we were getting or how much. They were real nice though, they gave us just enough and the price was cheap so they didn't take advantage of us ;)

Getting to Georgetown at night in Penang when we were lost was quite tricky. Navigating here is so much more difficult than in the US. Things aren't laid out in a grid and you can easy get into a smal 'burb' type area with only a few exists. Now finding those exits... And then when you do find them you are usually dumped onto a one-way, of course going the wrong way ;) It sure keeps you on your toes, and your brakes. Don't forget about the motor bikes scooting in and out every which way!

We eventually made it to Georgetown and parked just outside of Fort Cornwallis. It was quite dark, poorly lit, and deserted so I felt a little uncomfortable walking around for a while. After getting by the jitters it became a nice comfortable stroll. We walked by the State House and City Hall, they look quite nice at night! We only went around a few blocks and decided to call it a night.
