I could hear the rain out of the window from my top bunk bed in the hostel. Checking the time and listening to the rain and going bad to sleep. I repeated this several times to wake up eventually around noon.
Went to the streets under the light rain to discover the street art in the day light! I first stopped for some Nasi Kandar and fresh juice. With a map of the major art pieces in my hand, I went around discovering and taking photos:
Weather is not encouraging, no beach today and no camping! I went back to the hostel and worked a bit on the website and chatted here and there with travelers and guys working in the hostel.
7:30 was another evening of couchsurfing. Stephan and Shelby from Australia. Linka from Poland, Evelina from Lithuania, Abhishek from India and Kla from Penang! We were joined later by Shakira also from the town!
We ate! We ate a lot. Between 7:30 and 11:30, I had "wan tan mee" noodles with shrimps, fried oysters with eggs, and Nasi Kandar (yes! Again) with lamb meat! Drank coconut water from a fresh coconut fruit and had some ice cream with mango and shaves ice! Portions are relative small, which tempts you to eat more and enjoy more! Food was not too spicy in general in Malaysia!
This was my last night in Penang! The group dissolved close to the meeting point and we exchanged contacts. Who knows when will we meet again! I have learnt that couchsurfing is such a small world.
Back in the hostel, I spent sometime booking flights an organizing the Cambodia trip, suffering from the extra money I sacrificed for the sake of not planning my trip in advance!
I went to bed around 4:00am! Tomorrow (Wednesday) I am going o Langkawi!
