Happy belated 4th of July 'Murrica! While the US were shooting fireworks I was over hear attending lectures.
~Water Watch Penang~
Dr. Ngai Weng Chan spoke to us about water in Penang. This group was formed in 1997 and it's a non-government organization used to promote sustainable water development and resources. He says Penang is a poor water state of Malaysia. He says water here is very cheap, but there is a mismanagement of water. Luckily, Penang loses only 18.4% of water distribution so that saves a lot of money. Dr. Chan was telling us how his water bill is never over RM$5 which is a little over US$1.00 ... What?! He also says that the average water bill in Penang is RM$10-20 ... that is less than US$10!!!
Lunch break. This is roti telur (eggs) and cheese. It's like a flat bread cooked in whatever of your choosing and dipping sauce.

Dinner at a Arabic restaurant
I had Biryani chicken and a honeydew drink. The fruit juices here are sooooo good!
