Arrived in June of 73. It was the most impressionable experience for me, never been able to get Penang out of my system.
Have been back twice now, in 92 for a 2 week holiday and again in 97 on a posting with my husband and 3 children. Was a wonderful experience to be able to share some of the wonderful things that I experienced as a teenager growing up and have my children see and experience some of the same things.
It's a place that you can just pick up again and carry on. It never felt strange or a lot different apart from the odd new building or shopping centre. It was amazing that even some of the shop vendors and people you used to see around were still there after all this time.
I will go back, don't know when, for me it will be always in my system
