In 2000, I went on my first foreign vacation to Penang. Penang is a small state in Malaysia. I spent my 8th birthday there too.
One day we went for a drive and saw monkeys hanging from power lines and other things around. I also remember the temples, we were constantly taking off our shoes to look in these gorgeous colorful Buddhist temples with huge statues, it was amazing! Most nights we would walk down the main street and there were markets filled with so many things, near the end of the street was a restaurant we visited most nights because the food was to die for. By the end of the trip, the restaurant gave us a gift because we visited so much and we like friends to them. In the picture is a bridge in Penang, it is 8.4 miles long!

WOW!! It really sounds like you had a good time. I wish I could travel more and experience the world but it is very expensive. You are very fortunate that you get to do these things so take advantage of it!!!
