Penang Trip

About a week ago,my family went for a trip to Penang.......Malaysia's food paradise.And it does live up to it's name.There was food at almost every corner........many types of food.The food ranged from Chinese to American with one or two restaurants offering Middle Eastern cuisine and European meals.I tried to try the various types of food as much as I could and I was always very full by the end of the day.

Gurney Drive.........is the centre of the food business in Penang.It is known nationwide for the variety of food sold there.I was shocked to see how big Gurney Drive was.In my whole life,this was the first time that I saw such a long stretch of food stalls........all in one place.My family managed to get a place to sit in the crowded place.I tried out the food that was most widely associated with Penang.......the asam laksa.It was OK......I liked the soup......although I didn't really like the noodles.After having some "sotong bakar" ,I headed off to the mamak stall.

I think you must have guessed.........for what else.........obviously to kick start my World Cup campaign.The biggest football competition in the world had returned after four years.As usual,I was supporting Argentina.It is always nice to kick start the World Cup with a big crowd.My father and I each bought a drink and watched the matches till 12.00 and then returned to our hotel.

I also managed to watch Karate Kid in during my trip.Jaden Smith is really good at acting especially while making his jokes.The crowd were very lively and they laughed even for the smallest jokes during the movie.Overall,it was a very great movie to watch.

Although my family didn't really visit any of the interesting places in Penang,I still enjoyed the trip because I had fun and found an escape route from my usual lifestyle.It was relaxing and I'll surely return next time.......maybe after a long time because I want to discover the beauty of our country in other places as well..........
