I just found out that I'm headed to Penang, Malaysia a week from today. I'm pretty darn excited. First off, I have a lot of friends in Malaysia that I haven't seen in a long time. Second, I haven't been on a business trip outside of the U.S. in over 3 years.
I also have about a 9 hour layover in Hong Kong on the way there and back. I don't plan to sit in the airport for 9 hours, so I'll head out on the train and do some exploring down town Hong Kong.
I've been to Penang once before, about 8 or 9 years ago. From what I've heard, it's changed a lot since then. I didn't have a camera with me on my last trip, yes I know that's crazy. I'll have at least one camera, probably two with me on this trip. I'm landing Friday evening and have a weekend to adjust to the time difference and head out to do some sight seeing / photography.
I'll try to post a couple blogs about my time in Malaysia. I'll be working a lot, but hopefully I'll have time to have some small adventures during the evenings.
