Old Penang

Penang, Penang… Old or new, it is still the best place to live on earth.

I went online and met an old friend from high school, now studying and working in Japan. He’s been there for almost 7 years. Although he’s got a job in a reputable company over there, he told me that he will leave Japan and come back to Penang in 2 years time.

I guess no matter how good the lifestyle or salary other countries can offer, Penangites tend to come back to their hometown after living/working outside for sometime. I personally don’t think there will be a shortage of talents here, as there is always an opportunity for growth and development. Not to mention the food, heritage, beautiful beaches and hills, all under one roof (island).

Hmmm… I wonder why I’m still stuck in KL traffic jam right now…
