You one would have guessed the rest of our Penang trip was spent eating. This is by far the biggest draw -- besides the historical walks and architecture -- to the city of George Town. The street meat, the hawker centres and sizzling grills in unmarked alleys and hole in the wall bare bones mom and pop shops. We sampled pretty much everything our local hosts pointed us toward and I couldn't recount it all if I tried. There's a blog devoted just to hawker food in Penang worth checking out to get an idea of what I'm talking about.
Today we flew home and as soon as I got back onto my computer a barrage of disturbing news of the riots in Vancouver piled into my inbox. It's a dark day when you are so humiliated by your country you'd rather not show your passport to anyone. I felt like this around the election too. In response I decided that I should modify my passport. Happy Friday everyone.
