This was my mother's first time traveling abroad, and we chose Malaysia. I hastily booked our first night's hotel just the day before we left. It's an apartment-style hotel with all the modern comforts, and as my mom put it, it felt just like home. The water dispenser offers hot, warm, and cold water, which was perfect for my mom who's used to drinking hot water. The view from the window was also lovely, highly recommended.
Now for the main part – I really need to thank the host, a super warm-hearted Chinese lady. It had been a long time since I'd traveled internationally, and I hadn't been able to exchange Ringgit in China. When I arrived at the airport, I realized I couldn't withdraw any cash, and I completely panicked, trying not to show it in front of my mom. I messaged the host, and she immediately replied saying she'd bring some money the next morning. She exchanged the currency for me at the real-time rate. When she heard we wanted to go to Penang Hill, she even drove us to the foot of the mountain. After we checked out, I realized I'd left my neck pillow behind, and she drove it all the way to our new accommodation. All the food places she recommended in Penang were fantastic and very affordable, and I managed to try most of them.
The host said she didn't help me much, but for someone traveling with an elderly person in a foreign country, it was an immense help. That's why I have such a great impression of Penang. The next time I visit Penang, I'll definitely stay at her place again, and I highly recommend it to everyone coming to Penang!
