So I decided I wanted to visit another country. I mean I have been outside of the country before but never to Malaysia. I'm staying at the Hard Rock Hotel Penang. This hotel is great and comfortable. Last night I went to a party called the Ultimate Foam Party for RM30, but I got in free because I'm a lady. Happy dance. I've been to foam parties before but this was the first where children where allowed to be here. After 7 of course it's all adults and man do these people know how to party.
The plan ride here was long...very long...It's a whole day plus 6 hours. But it is cool because I went back in time! I was so excited. The foam party will be amazing!! They speak English here though it is mostly broken when speaking to older individuals. The dominant languages seems to be Mandarin and Malay.
I have been here in my hotel in about a week. During that time I have also ran in the Penang Run. Which is the real reason I was here. I registered online about a year ago. I have been so excited. The race cost about RM60 which is about 13.55 in US dollars. The RM stands for Malaysian Ringgit. There are four races that you can actually run in. I decided to run in the 8k Fun run, so I only got one piece of the medal. I'm still proud. To me it was similar to running the Spartan Race in the US.
The final place I went to, to conclude my trip was Escape Theme Park. It's an Eco park that uses solar energy to power it. There is vegetation on the roofs to keep things cool and all the water used is harvested from rain water. I got go on the jungle swinger. The whole park is actually a forest with a small amount of electronics as possible. All ages are welcome and the experience was phenomenal. Unfortunately, I have to go home in two days. This was a really fun vacation though.
