Monday, July 15th
I arrived in Penang in Malaysia this
morning with my family. It was sunny and hot, so we decided to go to the
beach near our hotel. My sister
and I tried to paragliding. I felt
like I was a bird. It was so
exciting! For lunch, we had
something very special – Malaysian yellow noodles. They were delicious! In the afternoon, we rode bicycles to Georgetown. There are a lot of new buildings now, but many of the old
buildings are still there. In Weld Quay, a really old place in Georgetown, we saw the houses of the Chinese traders from 100 years ago. I wonder what life was like here in the past. I really enjoyed walking around the town.
Tuesday, July 16th
What a difference a day makes! My father and I decided to go to Penang Hill today. We wanted to walk up to the top, but then it started raining a little so we decided to take the train. We waited over an hour for the train
because there were too many people. When we got to the top, it was raining really hard. We didn’t have an umbrella so we were wet and cold. It was terrible! And because of the bad weather, we couldn’t see anything below. My father didn’t bring enough money, so we only had one bowl of fish and rice. I was so hungry!

I took many photos there. In the afternoon, I went to
Tian’an Men Square. The square is very large. Today
is Chinese Army Day. So there were many people
there and it was very crowded. We had great fun
playing there! At last, we traveled around Beijing
Hutong on three-wheelers. The Chinese people are
very friendly. I felt very happy today, but I was
really tired.
Oh, I went to Beijing. Did you do anything special in Nanjing?
