And our photos!
Finally, we found an Internet cafe with a pretty high speed connection. So we’ve uploaded lots of photos. We’re staying a few doors down (for about $5/night!) so hopefully we’ll be back to upload more photos before we head to Thailand.
Of course, there’s that little matter of gorging ourselves on the food in Penang… might get in the way of uploading photos. Mmmmm.
We’re staying at this great little guest house in the Chinatown here, a perfect location to check out the city of George Town, the capital of the Penang island. The people there couldn’t be nicer and the place is very clean and nice, considering it’s bargain basement prices. The place across the street is a pit in comparison, and we almost stayed there!
Later tonight we are meeting up with our friends from Penang, who we met in Taiwan when we visited Alishan.

A (rather long) note about our photos: We are carrying two cameras, a digital SLR (Canon Rebel XTi) and the very compact Leica C-Lux 1. In general, rIAm uses the Canon and I use the Leica, but we trade often enough. We try to add as a tag the initials of the person who took each photo. We also try to give information through tags about where the photo was taken, but we don’t have the time to be completely thorough. You can see the date the photo was taken (we’ve adjusted the camera timestamp to our local time zone), as well as which camera was used in the lower right of the page displaying the photo. The main photo page shows the photos in the order they were uploaded (most recent first). We are trying to keep the photos in the sets in the order that they were taken, so if you want to view photos in the order we took them, that’s the place to do it. The Asia 2007 set is where every photo from the trip will be; other sets will include only subsets of all our trip photos (e.g. Taiwan 2007). To download a photo you need to sign into a flickr account (it’s free to sign up if you don’t have one, and can be linked to a yahoo account). Happy viewing!
