Malaysia

Saturday I returned from Malaysia. I had a great time. Our team that manages our high-volume manufacturing is based in the city of Kulim. While there I stayed on the island of Penang (about 30 min drive from Kulim). Penang is a large city, and reminds me somewhat of parts of Hawaii, mostly because it is very lush and green (and humid). The whole area is quite hilly. I stayed at a hotel called the Equatorial. It reminds me of the Kahala. The lobby is open to the outside but is roofed (see the picture below).
