An Unconventional Travel Guide around Penang: 3 Things to do
On my recent trip back to Penang, I had a guest with me. Before the trip, I did an extensive research on what to do, to see and to eat. One can never be starved of information on the internet. Long story short, I found repetitive and less than desirable information – in my opinion […]
