Penang year five

We are making plans to leave Penang end of July 2018.  It does make us sad as we desperately try to hold on to the sights and memories. Expect some very boring posts.


The most perfect breakfast. Roti Canai



 Of course there is lots of other great food as well



 you just cannot believe how good this smells



 or alternately how bad this smells



then the aroma of incense burning



 The smells , sights and sounds.  You can never find them all but we have seven moths to try.



Some things just feel strange.

 They have changed the security guards at our condo. Lucky for us, still really nice Nepalese guys. The new ones are very military.  I was surprised when I got my first group salute and muttered "carry on men" like something out of an old war movie. Embarrassed myself. It is difficult  to drive the car, use the remote,  and salute at the same time. Sometimes I use the wrong hand or just do a hybrid wave version. They even have a guard whose full time job is to salute as you drive your car into the condo.

There is a very old couple who go to my gym. They fascinate me.The old man works out while the  women stands right next to him. It is just so sweet. She dresses like she is going to church and has her handbag over her arm. She never works out , just stands very close to him. Is that something from another era.

Every Saturday I take Seren to Gymnastics. Then on Sunday we go to the Buddhist centre. Like to think both parts of her development are being covered. She is learning meditation and Buddhist values which is is all about being a kind compassionate person.Its a good thing.


This is Serenitys gym.. I an threatening Seren that I am going to join as well. She is concerned.



 Just so cute. Lots of good boys at our local mall.



 This one gave me a bit of a surprise. Its not the Odessa file or a hideout for Josef Mengele. On inspection the symbol is totally different. It is a Chinese religious charity.



Sign on my favourite bread and bakery shop. Monday to Saturday open 7am to 11am. Great news I turn up on Friday morning to buy supplies for the weekend. ( should have kept reading )
