In Penang, Malaysia, Again

We are back in Penang, Malaysia. Back to the PP Island Hotel and dim sum for breakfast.
There is a blue sky because Penang is an island and the wind blows from every direction. The sky in Myanmar is polluted by the use of old cars, Chinese two stroke motorcycle engines, Chinese trucks with tractor engines, burning of trash everywhere, the use of charcoal for cooking fires, the burning the forests for new fields and major development projects, and the greatest problem burning the rice fields. No smoke here.

The airport McDonalds has their employees wear black cowboy hats. This seems a little odd to us, but since most of their employees are Muslim women already wearing wearing black McDonald's head scarves this means that they are wearing their cowboy hats over their head scarves, which looks even odder.

Yesterday we even went to the movie, "The Descendants" in a new cinema, and nearly froze during the movie. We only took one wrap to share, and we needed more. Maybe long sleeves and pants. The movie was excellent, we both really enjoyed seeing George Clooney in a serious role. The theater was selling a new type of popcorn. "Salted"! We bought one and it tasted like popcorn at the movies in the U.S. In Asia most popcorn sold is super sweet caramel popcorn. We will buy the salted popcorn again.
