After a walk to the market for breakfast (you-tiau and kiap chang) we left for the train station, this time using the KTM which is cheaper. I pay RM 3.80 for an hour's trip to Penang Central, plus a RM2 ferry ride to Georgetown.
Trips to Georgetown seem to be oriented around meals with plenty of walking in between. We eat lunch at an Indian/Malay cafe on Jalan Argyll (our hotel is the Urban H Hotel - we think it was renovated from a 2-storey shopping mall; there are only 36 rooms). After lunch, a walk to Jalan Penang to buy roasted chestnuts for Jowie to try, and a visit to Chowrasta market - we have been try to show him 3 new things a day.
At the market, he decides to eat durian, Sam buys one for the two of them. As we sit down two ladies approach, curious to see what we are doing - I offer them a seat at the table and a taste of the durian. Luisa and Maria are from Frankfurt, the former has just done a month-long internship in Shanghai, she is a doctor. Maria has flown in to meet her sister in KL and Penang.
