If you have plans to laze about the beach in Penang, allow me this, to put you straight. The beach I was at was not nice for a few reasons. I had this idea of walking along the beach uninterrupted with the wind in my hair and a natural pedicure as my toes squish through the sand. When I reached the beach ( with the camera around my neck) I was greeted with a few voices spoken loudly and in a taunting manner. The voices well, one in particular anyway, told me not to waste my time taking pictures. It went on for a bit. But I walked on. Shortly after, I noticed a man walking alongside me and within 4 strides broached the subject of a horse ride...another chipped in re para-gliding. And when they were politely told to buzz off, a lady took off where they left by inquiring re my need for a massage by the beach. So you can see, I was hardly allowed to enjoy the beach that evening.
Why were they like that??
ReplyDeleteThe need to make money out of tourists. Nothing wrong there. Except the pushiness which was not nice:(
