Next Up - Penang, Malaysia

Makan Trip with the Girlfriends
Makan means eat in Malaysian. In a few hours we're getting on a short flight with three of Dodo's girlfriends. They're a lot of fun. We'll be doing some sightseeing but I think the main attraction is food. I will try to keep up but I doubt I'll be able to. To set the stage, Penang is a small island off the the NW coast of Malaysia. In this map you can see it in the upper left hand corner. It's about 400 miles north of Singapore. Ipoh, the place famous for coffee in these parts is a few clicks south and you can see Kuala Lumpur near the bottom of the map. At the very bottom is Melaka, where I went on my last makan trip with Dodo's family last year.
