The final countdown - Part 3

The dinner was held in the restaurant Feng-Wei, Penang. We've been to the restaurant a few times and while the food is good, the restaurant suffers from being rather noisy. This is either because there are too many people in too small a space, or maybe the result of the furnishing.

H-M's schoolfriend, Chen-Liang was our driver for the next couple of days, during which we did a little sight-seeing. One of our traditional trips is to the buddhist temple in Air Itam, Kek Lok Si.

It was at this point in the holiday that I was struck down with a mystery stomach ailment. It was very unpleasant and at one point it seemed possible that I might not be in a fit state to travel back to Finland. Medicine helped me over the worst but it took nearly two months before I was completely recovered.

Thomas took a long time to get used to Malaysian food; he much preferred the western food he is used to, although he really enjoyed the tropical fruits. In the beakers is the drink Milo, of which both boys are great fans.

The holiday then continued with Elk's Street returning to Sungai Petani to get ready for the flight back to Finland.
