Creator's Key Takeaways
The Rick Shaw ride was a great way to get some local perspective and it doesn't cost much money you're helping support one of the guys who makes a living doing this
Penang reminds me of Singapore probably 30 or 40 years ago so you're going to get more of that authentic experience here in Penang
Definitely come to Penang with the intent to try a wide variety of food both on the street and in the restaurants and at these Hawkers
Do not skip Penang as far as going over to the mainland side I did hear from people where they said it's not really worth it
