January - Photos of our Penang Apartment

 I have gotten a little behind and so will do a couple of catch up posts.  I have been taking photos of our apartment and our views off and on at different times of the day - so these don't come from a specific date.


A typical breakfast made in the apartment.  Toast made in the oven - no toaster, but at least we don't have to wok fry the bread as we did in the previous apartment.  There are 4 mugs, 4 wine glasses and 2 shot glasses.  So I drink my orange juice from a wine glass.


A random hawker mall meal.  The meal costs about $3 USD.


Now some shots down into our neighborhood from our 17th floor apartment.  



A staircase shot in our apartment - hope we never have the need to do 17 flights of steps!


A shoot from our floor up to the 29th floor and all the air conditioning units.


Our living/dining area


The kitchen and cleaning supplies.



A nearby temple and graveyard.


This seems to be the carpark for a car repair place.  All around our high-end apartment building there are car related business.  Want to buy a car, need a new transmission, need any other repairs - you can find them all in our neighborhood.  




The apartment buildings around us don't seem that great - but everyone has a least 1 if not 2 cars.  It seems cars are relatively inexpensive here.  Gas is also, as Malaysia has its own oil fields and refineries.  About $2 USD per gallon.


Night scenes - that is a crane on the right.





The sun comes out more often here than it did in Melaka.  That means it is warmer as well - take that to mean quite hot.  Also very humid which is hard on me.  Not used to that in dessert New Mexico!

  2. The orange juice in a wine goblet is so fancy! It reminds me of when I arrived in this apartment and drank whisky from a god rimmed teacup because that was the only drinking vessel I could find.
