I know when you're in England it's a bit annoying when the Christmas adverts start in October but starting on December the 8th is definitely too late...i'm excited for goodness sake! Spent a rocky couple of hours on a sea ferry bringing us to Penang's main town, Georgetown which was some what of a monstrosity in comparison to the towns of late.
