June Trip to Penang

Another story of trip to Penang....

We reached the interchange where to direct us to the Penang Bridge from Juru roughly around 11:30pm on the 18th June 2008. It was kinda late when reached the island. Most of the hawker stalls with famous foods are closed. So, we filled our stomach with some Mamak(indian) foods just around the corner and went hope for a good night sleep.
