Swap Meet Sunday

We are still in Penang, still having a good time. Yesterday was Sunday which means that we went to the swap meet. Our friends pat and Alan go to the swap meet every Sunday, so we met them for breakfast at the swap meet.

Last night I had cuttlefish and Laura had sausage, mashed potatoes and corn on the cob. You can get any kind of food here you want. Although, we enjoy Thai food more than the Malay food. When we are in Malaysia we have mostly Chinese food for breakfast (Dim Sum) and then Indian for later meals. Last night along with our supper, we had a wonderful ocean view and watched freighters sail into the harbor.

We have found that Subway has invaded here with a daily 6" $2 special that is beginning to look good. Still the only place that has unlimited coffee and soda refills is McDonald's. Yesterday in the mall I looked around and we were standing at the corner of Chicago Rib House, Chili's, McDonald's and Manhattan Fish Company.

We had one lunch in Thailand, where Laura complained that her lips burned for the rest of the afternoon. Now, that was spicy. She only ate part of her mean and then gave it to Jim to finish. So, he ate, hiccuped, sweated, and ate more until it was gone.

We have a Giant supermarket near our hotel. We went in looking for wine and discovered that "Night Train" wine has made it here, and for only $10 US a bottle! They also had shopping bags for sale from Fry's Food Stores, which is part of the Kroger chain and mostly located in Arizona.
