Georgetown (Penang)

There are many pagodas and temples. I have them from each other is different. It was here in the snake pagoda. There on the seedlings hanging almost motionless snake.

Most importantly, Dzhorozhtaun - the first city of Malaysia, where I saw a specially marked bicycle lanes.

By the way, pay highway from Kuala Lumpur to Penang is ringita 43 - is about 400 rubles., Even petrol 500 rubles. (The distance a little more than 300 km). It turns out that a car to get there almost more expensive than the plane (sometimes with Air Asia are extremely cheap tickets). Well, on a motorcycle is perfectly acceptable: Free entry to the highway and gasoline goes to the order of magnitude smaller.
