Quick Hello from Penang

We had to use our precious travel time to go on-line because Andrew had to check in with work. I decided to use the rest of my internet time to give a quick update on our travels in Malaysia. Our visa takes two business days to process but since we got here late Thursday night we have to wait until Monday afternoon for our visa to be finished. So we are stuck in Malaysia until Monday or Tuesday, literally, they have our passports. That's why Andrew had to check in with work he has to miss work tomorrow and Tuesday.
This isn't such a horrible place to be stuck though. We are maximizing our time by seeing all the cool sights on the island. On Friday we went up to the top of Penang hill for 360 degree views of the island. The way up this hill was either to walk in sandals or take a train up. We took the train. The train was almost at a 90 degree angle with the hill, it was pretty scary to look at from the bottom but on it I felt safe. The views from up there were awesome.
We've seen a few Mosques and Buddhist and Hindu temples here.
We relaxed on a nice beach.
We've tried some awesome food. I'm proud of myself for being more adventurous. Now I am just pointing to pictures and trying what they give me. I'm not sure I would eat these things again but they filled me up in my time of need. There is a large Indian population in Penang and we've had Indian food for most of our meals. It's delicious. Indian food portions are much larger than Malaysian or Thai food portions. They give us probably three servings of rice each then ask us if we want more when that's gone. We ate one meal off a banana leaf instead of a plate. very neat. Last night we tried a Malaysian dessert, I'll tell you about that later.
You see it's the same price for 0-30 min of internet so I figured I'd get my money's worth but now time is running out and it's time to go see the National Park. Hopefully our camera battery lasts through the rest of our time in awesome Malaysia.
Oh yeah I also wanted to say I'm sorry for my cranky blog from when I was sick. I am usually a very positive person but being sick and stuck in bed changes my attitude. Now I am back to laughing at the "bad and ugly" things.
Bye bye!
