Monday, July 15th

I arrived in Penang in Malaysia this morning with my family. It was sunny and hot , so we decided to go to the beach near our hotel. My sister and I tried to paragliding . I felt like I was a bird. It was so exciting ! For lunch, we had something very special ---Malaysian yellow noodles. They were delicious ! In the afternoon, we rode bicybles to Georgetown. There are a lot of new

bulidings now, but many of the old bulidings are still there. In Weld Quay, a really old place in Georgetown, we saw the houses of the Chinese traders from 100 years ago. I wonder what life was like here in the past. I really enjoyed walking around the town..

What a difference a day makes ! My father and I decided to go to Penang Hill today. We wanted to walk up to the top ,but then it started raining a little so we decided to take the train. We waited over an hour for the train because there were too many people. When we got to the top, it was raining really hard. We didn’t have any umbrella so we were wet and cold. It was terrible ! And because of the bad weather , we couldn’t see anything below. My father didn’t bring enough money, so we only had one bowl of rice and some fish. The food tasted great because I was so hungry !
