A treasure trove in Penang




This was my 4th trip up North to Penang. Past visits were hurried. And if they were for conferences, you're only let loose in the afternoons where there's a mad dash to get about and buy stuff. This trip was different, the main reason for the trip finished just after lunch, leaving us with the entire afternoon for leisure. I was very clear on the objectives of the afternoon, GOOD food and second books.

I got both.I'm not going to blog about food. ( not this entry, perhaps later ). Am dying to talk about chowrasta Rd where up in a dingy looking old market, there's a haven of second hand books. Amazing! I would have spent more if I had the energy to wade through the stacks and stacks of books lying around and beside me.
