MALAYSIA - THE PRESENT ASIA (continued, part 4) After all the experiences that we have received in the Snake Temple, we boarded a bus and went back to Chinatown. There we were transferred to a rickshaw from the bus station and got straight to the hotel, where immediately went to sleep. Rickshaw In our last scheduled day stay on the island of Penang, we took a rental bike and rode to the northern part of the island. Ride on the roads of Malaysia, like any other Asian country, very interesting. Around full of different cars and motorcycles on the road a mess, but if you stop to think how all this chaos is incorrect, you immediately realize how ordered the chaos. In this turmoil has its own system. Once we figured out where to go, we visited a Burmese temple with a Buddha statue the size of a 3-storey house, a Thai temple with the reclining Buddha, as tall as a human growth. Then we went to the north-western part of the island to visit the butterfly garden, which we liked. There were thousands of butterflies that flew around the room, as well as several species of lizards and snakes, scorpions seizure, an exhibition of insects, thousands of species of plants and flowers (including carnivorous plants) and a huge pond in the middle, where he lived a huge catfish (about the size of adult male, if not more). We immediately went to an exhibition of insects. In the lead was a plastic box with some vegetation. There were stick insects and slepnyaki (insects, disguised as part of the plant, depicting leaves and twigs, prim.perev.), Which was almost impossible to miss. In the same box were a few praying mantis and a bearded lizard. All they could hold in their hands. After that, we about 2 hours just wandering around the garden, looking at different pens. After the butterfly garden butterflies, we decided to eat and found a wonderful Italian restaurant, called "In The Pit." We brought a huge portion of salad, a large pizza with chicken, all it was worth 10 Canadian dollars. We ate, paid and went to our motorcycle. Only Scott was going to take my helmet off the bike, I noticed a small snake near the bike and showed it to Scott so that he accidentally stepped on it does not (for the last few days we've seen so many snakes that my threshold of fear slug dropped). He glanced at the snake and jumped on it. Apparently, my communication with the snakes just made me less timid, but did not have taught me anything, unlike Scott's. It was a spitting cobra. At length it was about two feet, with a black back, brown belly and white outline of the eye to the nape. We watched as she slowly crept along the curb to the road sign, just where one local resident stopped his motorcycle. Scott immediately warned him, he jumped up on two feet when he saw the snake, then waited until she upolzet, and ran to the store to call more people. Already five of us stood motionless, watching how this small but deadly snake crawling, wriggling along the border until they got out on the roadway, where ... Bam! The truck moved her, as a result it has issued such a sound as if somewhere burst balloon. You would have thought that the snake at a time just squish, but no! I felt sorry for her, but at the same time, I was glad that nobody was hurt. Kind of like on the card turned out spectacular evening. We decided that it would be better just to ride around town and admire the old architecture and culture. We found some beautiful views of Penang, made a couple of shots of the old clock tower, and then we were interrupted by rain (yes, the monsoon season!). After a wonderful four days at Georgetown, on the island of Penang, it is time to return to a cooler climate, closer to the tea plantations. Next we go to the Cameron Highlands, to perform there several mountain hikes, to drink fresh tea and eat barley cakes! Start material:
