seoulteacher - yeah, that's it.
also, not to be a shameless self promoter, but i just posted a fairly lengthy blog entry about my Malaysia trip with a bunch of pics at sportsthatareright.blogspot.com.
and you're right, Penang would probably be best for couples. i went on my own just to chill out. since i split my trip with BKK, i got my drunken nightlife fill there. |

If you do go to Penang, get a return flight to Medan (in Sumatra, Indonesia) & make your way by bus to Lake Toba, & the oranghutan reserve at Bohorok.
I liked Cameron Highlands (Tana Rata) & Melaka in Malaysia. It took me a while to figure out the street signs in Penang are at knee level. I kept looking up at the 2-3 metre level for street signs, & saw nothing. |

Incidentally, Lake Tuba is actually the crater of a dormant supervolcano. It is believed by a number scientists that it erupted 70 thousand years ago and nearly killed off the human species.
Anyways, I hear it is quite beautiful. |
