Going to Penang

Crazy monkey has one day woke up and decided to go to Penang.
Couldn't sleep the whole night learning about Penang and planning the trip.

Originally thought I could fly there but it was too late to get a cheap ticket. Now the only way is to take a bus there which is cool with me.

The bus from SIN to Penang cost $38
The bus from Penang to SIN cost RM42
Travel time is 9 hours one way.
Source: Journey Malaysia
Total for 2 persons transport: $113*
*expecting a higher cost if I can buy both ways in Singapore.

Accomodation will be at the Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion, a UNESCO Conservation Award Winner, that was the home to a very rich Hakka Businessman and Philantrophist.

Staying one night on Sunday will cost us 250RM.
