jae's escape: of georgetown and bukit bendera DAY 1

Assalaamualaikum and a very good afternoon.

So i just had a very short trip to Penang last weekend (22-23 October 2016)

Basically it's a food trip and a very low budget trip below 200 ringgit malaysia (yes you can afford it using your piggy bank.dig them!)

Okay at first me and my uni bestie just play around on going to a weekend getaway because we're too stressed with our training-ship (urgh) but it eventually turns into a reality once i a bought a one way ticket to penang.

This is new to me, i never buy bus ticket online. Thanks Jia for the guide! So i used easybook.com and you need to register to make everything easier. here the link http://www.easybook.com/easibookNew/register.aspx

That's the start of our plan and journey I have bought tickets for RM 34.40 per head, so we have three pax so calculate yourself because im just too lazy to do this now (okay dont be mad).

My friend decide to book a hostel room for us three using booking.com! Yeah everyone on your fingertips! just click click click and you got it! but beware of malwares and liers!!!!!! read reviews and search a lot! Google helps a lot.

We started our journey from Terminal Bersepadu Selatan (TBS) or i love to call it BTS whatever it means at 11.59 pm (as stated in ticket) not exactly as usual. Expected delay, but everything was okay. Transnasional bus was okay that day. ( oh ONLINE TICKET NEED TO BE CHANGED TO ACTUAL TICKET AT TBS PLS REMEMBER)

My single seat was actually a little bit disappointing because i have nowhere to put my legs because there's like a fence in front of me, urgh i cant describe this. We reached Butterworth about 6. am, then solat subuh then head to Feri Terminal yeayyyyyyyy!

Excited me plus sick me haha

The way to Feri terminal is little bit tiring because a long way there, have to cross stairways and yeah finally there. Then wait for like 15 minutes for ferry to depart. Rm 1.20 one way! (MURAH)

me enjoying the morning see breeze while my friend taking photos (thanks to them i have a lot of photos)
acah acah deep as usual

The ride was not too long. We arrived early at Georgetown and decided to eat first because WE ARE TOO HUNGRY TO EVEN THINK.

crossed the road and we find a place to eat!

A must in Penang! Roti bakaq and half boiled egg!

Roti bakaq : RM 3.50

Air : ikut selera memasing

Then we decided to hitch a rapidpenang bus (NO. 204) to Bukit bendera. : RM 2.00. It was quite a long journey haha about thirty minutes. Okay no touchngo okay. Only cash on rapid penang. Haiyooo penang!

So we arrived around 8.30am, i was quite excited because yeah early birds and later birds (haha people who get tickets before 9.00 am and after 6.30pm? i think got RM 3.00 offer for allcategories). But the line i mean so many people line up, of course it's weekend, the school trips, family trips and us singles trip also fill the place. I get RM 5.00 offer because provided IC and student card (still valid until convo hahaha) but my friend have to pay RM 10.00 because no matric card ( she forgot poor her).

Then after that another long wait to ride the train to the peak. Urgh it was long and my legs hurts so much (because i lack of stamina and i have legs problem ) but eventually it fade when we reached the peak. The ride was okay, this is my second time here but it's my first time doing this with friends ( so another new memories)!!!!!

It started to rain when we started to walk along the walking trail. Being acah-acah backpackers we walked instead of riding the small car (pay more, don't have to walk, you choose) haha.

But the walk was so nice, yes rainy day is my fav kind of day!!!!!

this cute guy welcomed us well!

no penang view because fog everywhere!

yeah kids depan belakang tepi kiri kanan. i dont think it's school holiday but weekend yeah. Everybody needs weekend escape tbh

walking hard!

Then we went back to georgetown, riding the same bus no 204 and pay RM 2.00 and stop at transfer road. Luckily there is a gerai mamak there! Yeahhhhhhh lunch!.

I have a big lunch and doesn't even remember to take photo because i was too hungry to even snap a pic haha.

Rice + gulai daging + ++ water = 7.50

Then we walked about 500 meters to our booked hostel and reached there at like 1.30 pm and we still have like an hour before check in time but godness gracoius, may God bless the owner, we get to check in earlier, and even get towels!

This is one of fav part of the trip. The stay itself is amazing! Bunkbeds. Room for four! We're only three so one bed is not occupied. we spend only 36.50 per head for an amazing stay at Wassup Youth Hostel.

i wish my high school dorm was this nice. I wish haha but it was really nice. the bed the blanket the light the dc hahha

tptop! heater semua ada! ade shampoo,handwash and bodywashin one too! we got towels too!

yeah i love this place! so much!

Because the hostel is too awesome and we're too tired from walking too much in the evening we end up sleeping in for hours and actually go out to town after 4 pm. ( i love sleep that much forgive me).

We ride a bus at Jalan Tramsfer again , CAT bus this time (ITS FREEEEEEE GUYS NO NEED TO PAY) and decided to stop Fort Cornwills busstop at Padang Kota Lama to visit 3D TrickArt Museum!

Okay i like this place less ( haha maybe because i was a bit sleepy) and my legs condition. and it's a bit pricey for low budget people like us! RM 15 per person!
