I often go to pulau pinang with my family for holiday. It’s really nice town. My favourite place in there are feringgi beach and penang hill. Really nice view and best place for relaxing.
The one i like in malasyia is its people. They’re so humble with foreigners like me.
The food in there is really same with indonesian food. It taste great with melayu flavour.
The last one is transportation. It’s easy to go anywhere cuz they have rapid bus. Its central is in komtar, the perfect place for shopping.
After all day traveling, you can spent your time relaxing in gurney beach. A best spot for hang out and to get some food.
Enjoy Pulau Pinang
The best Island in Malaysia to visit - hands down!!! It might not have the best beaches in the world - that’s left for some of the further islands… but as far as a developed island is concerned, this is the best.
Best food - Undisputed - among all Malaysians
Great affordable accommodation
Awesome clubbing scene
It’s a blend of the new and the old - a great escape from the hustle and bustle of a full-fledge city life.
Feet and Hand thumbs up!
