Penang, The Food Capital of Malaysia

"Penang?" you all say, rolling your eyes. "Didn't you go there like 5 months ago?"

Well yes, it was back in October. Over Halloween, actually. But come on, you all know I get pretty behind at this stuff; and in true fashion I will come back and attempt to catch up with a number of frequent posts in a short period of time. Although, since this one was so long ago, I would generally just skip it! This time I thought I would at least give you a slideshow of the trip so you can see the best parts.

Penang is an island off of mainland Malaysia known as the "food capital" of the country. It is true that we spent a lot of our time either thinking, looking for, or eating food. But this island has a lot more to offer as well, including a nice National Park, Malaysia's largest temple, and a number of fun markets and streets to explore.
