Evening Street Market

If you look up what you should do in Malaysia. "Experience the Night Life" always makes the top ten. This is not clubbing or partying, its shopping. At night in Penang hundreds of people fill the streets with little carts of hot food, fruit stands, and other goods to buy. Not entirely on purpose we decided to walk through one such market with the kids.

As you can see the cars are still in the street, in fact city buses were driving through picking up and dropping off. I don't think we could have done it without the stroller, but it did make it a little scarier when you ran out of sidewalks. The kids did get coconut milk fresh out of a coconut though. It wasn't our favorite drink but how often do you get to drink out of a coconut?


We were told that you always got a great deal at the market, but I think that involves bartering which we did not do, so the fruit we bought was pretty much store price. Tony says maybe he would try a different one with a local friend from work.

There happened to be a beautiful temple above this market on the hill.



The kids were tired afterwards, I was tired afterwards but it was one more true Malaysian experience for us to check off our list.
