I have been to Malaysia probably 15 or so times and have visited Penang twice. You will find the Indian Ocean side of the Island very nice, but the Georgtown side (towards the mainland) is very industrial. Just past the Airport is the "Snake Temple" check it out. Intel has a large facility near the Airport that bonds Pentium dies into the ceramic packages. National Semi and Motorola have facilities also....and most Barbie dolls are assembled in Penang by Mattel. I really recommend you rent a car and visit the capitol Kuala Lumpur (about a 5 hour drive) and spend a few days there, very interesting place. By all means stop at "Bahtu Caverns" just outside of town towards the mountains. For beautiful beaches and unspoiled countryside you need to get to the China sea coast of Malaysia, fantastic country! Try and visit the Tioman Islands also if you get a chance. You could also drive an hour south of Kuala Lumpur to Seremban and drop into the Sony monitor factory :) Always enjoyed the people and countryside in Malaysia, have a great trip and don't forget to write......some Yaroze code that is :) Regards, Jerry Jessop SCEA Hardware Engineer * All opinions expressed are my own and not my employers * Wayne K.
