Traveling Is Hard Work..., Drinking Is even Harder

So we just arrived in Penang, Malaysia today. No troubles getting over the border or anything. Its funny though because all throughout this trip thus far we have had no trouble with the local authorities but as soon as we enter Malaysia our van gets pulled over three times within the hour. I guess this is not a place that messes around. The trip was ok but half of our crew was hunggover from the last party night in Ko Phangan. We stayed up late and played pool, singing, and swimming in the ocean. This traveling thing gets to be hard work. I think that I may need a vacation after all of this is over.

As for Penang, I am not impressed. I guess that I am getting tired of seeing temples and old buildings. I am looking for a bit more adventure and less history I guess. Tomorrow I will probably take as a rest day and sleep in. After that I am going to get a haircut and probably catch a movie (most likely I will go see the new Star Trek movie). I am however excited about going to the Camaroon Highlands in two days. When we are there I get to see the worlds largest flower, which should be pretty cool. And then Kuala Lampur, where we plan on trying to find some really strange food to eat and chheck out the towers there.

So I think that I talked about our drinking monkey named Yeesus already. I am going to post some pictures and show you just how crazy this guy is. Hope you enjoy them.
