Deepavali Open House in Sungai Patani

What an overwhelming turnout of over 10.000 people at our agency's Deepavali Open House in Sungai Patani. Indeed 1Malaysia at it's best!

I combined the occasion with two night's most pleasant stay at the Golden Sands at Batu Ferringhi in Penang. While East Malaysia was bracing for rain and floods and the upper northern part of West had just had it awful share of rain and flood, Penang was all sunny and HUMID!
Lots of western tourists and surprisingly Arabs too when one thought the invasin from the Middle East would have ended by October. All well for our tourism industry! The hotel was full that we were reminded ever so politely to check out on time!!! Must return again and spend a more leisurely time there. Penang is so traffic-infested these days!
