A summary of the best of 2011 with Crazy Digest
1. Best city to go for sightseeing:
Nominees: Munich, Chiangmai, Paris
Paris offers an all-rounded experience of having many sites to visit in a small area, with an easy-to-access transportation network. Rental bicycles are the best!
2. Best single sightseeing spot:
We had 4 hours of great fun in this place. Models are life sizes and split in half for you to see inside.

3kgs in 3 days in Penang - Part 2
Date of Travel: 16-18 Sep 2011
This is a continuation of 3kgs in 3 days in Penang - Part 1
Having eaten ourselves silly the previous day, it's time to explore the historical side of Penang today. We have been to Penang countless amount of times, as my Dad is originally from Penang and we have relatives there. Most tourist attractions are so "Been-There-Done-That" to us that we end up just eating.
After a hearty hotel breakfast, we decided to try something new.
1) Khoo Kongsi
18 Cannon Square, 10200 Penang, Malaysia
04-2614609
Open Weekdays 9am-5pm; Sat 9am-1pm
GPS Coordinates: 5°24'51.44″N, 100°20'14.33″E
The original name for this clan is Leong San Tong Khoo Kongsi, which is now known as Khoo Kongsi for short. Based on the elaborate building architecture, The Khoos look like they might have been the richest clan in Malaysia during the 19th century. Here, you will find a book of names of ancestors that goes back all the way to the 1850s. Till today, whenever a newborn is welcomed into the Khoo family, his/her name will be entered into this very book.

Review: Hard Rock Hotel, Penang
Date of travel: 16 Sep 2011
Whenever I mention Hard Rock Hotel, the first thing I hear is "Wahhhhh" and it is often followed by "Expensive!". Having heard this one too many times, I wanted to check it out for myself. We decided to go there on a public holiday weekend, Malaysia Day 2011, for a 3D/2N stay. Do your research to locate the best deal for Hard Rock Hotel. Rates from the official website may not always be the best. This is what we paid

| HuiLing: Did you hear about the rock joke? Nevermind, it's too "hard" to tell. |
