Penang & Whale Shark

Well hello again and I’m so sorry that I haven’t updated what I’m doing. Work and moving and visa run have been first priority. I got a thought the other day about Ice skating. It was a long time ago and now that I know there's snow and ice in Sweden I really want t go. When I was playing hockey I was not the best guy with the stick and techniques but I could skate, I was probably the quickest one on the skates when I was young. Well I’m diving instead which is still so much better. Bubbles makes me happy

So when you are living in Thailand you have to get a VISA, I had 90 + 30 days I got from Singapore. So last week me and Marika went for a Visa run to Penang.

We started the trip late 01:00 from a gas station by the highway to Trang. There a minivan picked us up and drove us the whole way to the malaysian border. A sleepy minivan got a call from the driver to stand by and when he stopped the car we all runned. We tried to get before everyone else and be the first in line by the border.

We arrived at our hotel around 09:00 and a breakfast buffé was served and we got our rooms.Luckily I had Marika with me who done this trip three times already. So she was more like a guide and organized the trip and activities. First we went for shopping in the shopping mall and took a coffee. Then we went on the famous “street of art” in Penang, Small alleys where you find paintings on the house walls.

Then we had some recommendations from Mel to eat dinner at this street food place. They had so much food that I never seen people eaten before, me and Marika ordered a meal and it was so good!

Over all Penang was awesome, good food, good organization, good coffee and of course good company.

Back in Lanta and Marika has finally moved in to my bungalow, well know it’s more our Bungalow. The bungalow have been monitored and decorated with hangers soap proper laundry basket etc. I guess the bungalow needed a woman touch.

And for your info we saw a Whale shark at Hin Daeng yesterday””
