To visit Myanmar was, of course, interesting. However, every month ride in the "smelly" and back, as thousands of foreigners do it, I'm definitely not ready. Therefore, it was decided, following her husband and daughter, organize me an annual student visa. It is necessary for this all-nothing - from 15 to 30 thousand baht (or rubles, the course is about the same) and ... yes, actually, and that's it. Document registration takes on the language school itself. Then, already with the right papers, you will have to go beyond the limits of the kingdom - but not in the cross-border Myanmar town, but in any other settlement where there is the Embassy of Thailand. As it should be, in this matter, too, everything is organized "from and to". Special companies organize Tours "Visa Rass" to Malaysia, to Penang Island, where there is a Thai embassy. Travel, meals, accommodation, submission of documents - all this is already included in the modest (now - without irony) cost of 4 thousand baht.
You can move here on the velaiks.
Language School, I decided to choose the same where I enhance your English husband with my daughter. Claims a lot of claims (first of all - local communal services), but teachers - native speakers. True, until I finally issued documents (it took a month), American John replaced the Australian Paul, but I was not very upset. In the end, this is not the Russian Eugene Guy, whom I met already in another language school and who, even changing the name, did not have learned in English. And after all, works by the teacher of "Shakespeare language" for almost five years!
Although George Town is the capital of Penang Island, the rhythm of life is not at all metropolitan.
... So, soon to prepare on the road. This time - in Malaysian Penang. Time on the road is almost twelve hours on minibas. The trip itself takes two days. It is clear that Stefan will have to leave at home this time. But he is completely on breast nutrition. So the preparation for my trip began with a gradual compression of milk. I have not yet knew that this trip later I will name one of the most terrible adventures in my life ...
Although Malaysia is the Muslim country, in Penang everywhere - Chinese temples.
