( Night at Tipsy Tiger party hostel, Penang )

” Malesian riggits “

After to said goodbye to my friends at the Bangkok Suvarnabhumi airport I did the check-in and then I went to the gate alone, kind of sad and disappointed because I really missed the company of my friends.

But at 7:30 pm my next flight was waiting me for a new experience in Malaysia. I landed in Penang at 10:10 pm, I take my backpack, I change the euros that my friends gave me because the ATM machine took one of my credit card and the other wasn’t working in Thailand. Except all those money problems I keep going and do my things so I called Grab to bring to the hostel that I booked. When I arrived it looks like a party l, full of people and loud music, I did the check in and one girl that worked there she show me my bedroom and then I left all of my belongings and I went downstairs to drink a cocktail because was free, I had a chat with couple of people and at mid night the music ends and I went to sleep.
