Day 1
It's a sunny day and we started our journey to Penang. We met at 9.30am at bus stop and take a 6 hours bus to Penang. Go Go Go Penang!
STARTING OUR TRIP !!! so excited.
We are now at Penang and taking ferry to Penang Island. It only costs RM1.20 for ferry fare. This is my first time taking ferry. The staircase is really slanted and we need to be very careful when we walk down.
The sea view during the ferry trip.
We suppose to visit the famous 3D museum in Penang after the interesting ferry trip. However, we didn't expect that the bus journey to penang takes 6 hours.The museum close at 6.00pm, so we decide to change our plan. We take taxi to our hostel in muntri street, name "muntri house".
Here we are at Muntri House, nice!
The reception area of Muntri House. We check in here and apply for locker which cost us RM10.00 for deposit. The accommodation fees for each person is RM23.00 per day.

/Heading to our room now. We need to take off our shoes before going upstairs.
Shoe rack provided for us to put our shoes.
Guess which one is our room for this trip?
Here we are in our room! There are total of four double-deck bed in the room which means there will be eight person in a room. Although the space is limited, but it is still acceptable as i prefer to spend my time moving around Penang rather than stay inside bedroom for long duration of time.
The locker costs us RM10.00 as deposit. However, the lock of the locker was damage and unable to hold tight. It makes me feel insecure. I decide to keep all valuable thing with me as we will not be compensated for any loss causing by used of the lockr.
Dustbin inside the room
The room is furnished with air-conditioner.
There are no toilet in our room. We will need to use the public toilet at first floor for shower and excretion. There are two public toilet located at first floor.
Hairdryer is provided outside of the toilet. It is free of charge to use.
The area for us to dry our clothes. However, due to hygiene issue, most people decide to hang it inside the room.
Ironing area for us to iron our clothes.
My first dinner in Penang-------double meat burger. Actually i order double cheese but don't know why the Indian guy do double meat for me. Anyway, it is still very delicious.
And some kuih-muih. All this kuih-muih is made by sweet potato.

We are very tired after the long walk around the town. We decide to have a supper at street stall before going back to Muntri house. I choose 'Wantan mee' as my supper. Although it is same type of food with the one at Kuala Lumpur. But the taste is quite different and special.
After finish the supper, we go back to hostel. We take a bath and sleep around 11.00 pm because our schedule tomorrow is Escape Park!! We need to save our energy for tomorrow.
