Day 4 - Yobo Penang Bridge

It probably started from the moment I took a picture with Yobo brand - let's say, became an official face of Yobo.

Penang bridge is the longest bridge in south-east asia - 13km long, and seeing this giant was a great deal - that's what we thought :)

Near the bus station we hired a taxi for RM20. As we found out later, proper price was about RM7, and the guy dropped us in the middle of highway for triple price...

It started raining... Quick view on the traffic jam and some pieces of the bridge... And the fun begins - how do we actually go back?

We went back along the highway for about 1.5km jumping over canalization and breathing the best of the jam :) we reached the gas station, and then Tesco, which was the only hope for proper transportation in the area.

Well, the bus 206 - marshrutka style half damaged mini van - was the only option. For RM1.5 it took us around the unknown George Town - 1.5 hours of big and small streets, skyscrsapers and social housing, outdoor swimming pools and garbage areas... Where did it all come from? We thought it was a small quiet town... Night and the bus 206 have changed it all...
