Penang - First Impressions

A Smaller Hong Kong?
It's a much larger island than I expected - about 5 miles by 10 miles. It looked to me like Hong Kong - a sharply mountainous, verdant piece of land with white skyscrapers dotting the shoreline. However, the comparison works only from far away. Once you're on the ground in Penang you're surrounded by shophouses and the buzz of scooters.
