Perils In Penang

I will never evar fly MAS domestic again. The planes are bad. The landings and takeoff are horrendous. It took me 4 hours to get from Senai Airport in Johor Bahru to Penang Island. Halfway, I had to transit for an hour in Kuala Lumpur - and the plane was 30 mins late. What gives?

Speaking of which, how is KLIA an ‘international airport’, when a very posh looking cafe serving ‘international’ coffess and cakes is unable to take credit card payments? I was extremely cheesed when they insisted on cash payments taking into the fact that a lousy expresso, a cappucino and a slice of tiramisu cost 50 bucks. You wanna be upscale? Please accept Visa, dammit. Nobody uses cash anymore.

The staff at my hotel (Sheraton) told me that Saucy Senoritas was a pretty good place to get a drink. So they called me a cab and I proceeded there. There was a terrific band there doing hip-hop and R&B. In fact, they reminded me a lot of the Fugees. Excellent! Again, no credit cards accepted though.

I then pub-hopped to this other club next door, called S3. It had star wars lights at the entrance which made me feel like I was walking in outer space. The place was pretty empty… after one drink I wanted to leave when suddenly these 3 pole dancers hopped onto the stage and started bumping and grinding… you can watch the video here.

Penang quite fun leh!

Is that pole dancing i see? GULPS! what would mrs cowboy say? hee ..

Saucy? I always thought it was “Slippery Senoritas”.

Why got no people one?

The quality sucks. Get a new phone.

“Penang quite fun leh!”

now only you know ar? btw, Queensbay is gona be the next happening place in Penang….soon :P

hey why aren’tcha jus stuffing some moneybills into their panties if you’re there already?

With high rates of credit card fraud in Malaysia, my cards seldom see the light of day whenever I’m there.
