outdoor dining beside Chulia Street in George Town:
‘See this nasty street, sidewalk and open sewer? This looks like a good place to operate a diner’
‘You’re right; it’s smelly, and I’ve seen plenty of flies, roaches, rats and cats around. I’ll set out some tables and chairs.’
.
‘I’ll set out the stools and tables. You start washing and cutting vegetables’
‘Don’t fall in that open sewer, though.’
.
Rickshaws are a slow, dangerous mode of travel on Pulau Penang. I never rode one.
.
