Steam Hot Penang

Vary hot so it is only possible to be out in the morning.  Thei mix of cultures in Georgtown is interesting but you soo relaize it ia all orruring in four square blocks.  The rest of the city is being swallowed by malls and condominiums.   The trips outside the city were great-fish farming. exotic fruits and spices.  But they have cut all the teak trees to make way for  palm oil trees  the future for biodegradable fuel.  They have the second longest suspension bridge the second largest computer chip exporters and hope to

 be a first world country by 2020.   International phone calls were impossible but everyone is talking on a cell all the time.  The peninsula will have free wifi next year.
