My Very First Penang Trip [Part 1]

Hi all!

Last month, I had my sole trip going up to Penang for the first time. It wasn't really a pleasant experience for me because I went up on a public holiday itself and the bus ride actually took about 7 hours plus. I did not expect the delay and being stuck in the jam is really tiring though I did not drive. When I reached the destination, the number ONE thing that came into my mind was Char Kuey Teow!

The bus took me to the bus terminal and from there I was warmly welcomed by Isaac, Ivan (Isaac's brother) and YY, who came all the way from Kulim to meet up with us.
