Free Wifi as in which places..can recall?. All I know is Secret Recipe at Brinchang got TMNet Hotspot..and thats NOT free.

Come to think of it, this Malaysia is so backward in public Wifi.
We're so deficient!.. sigh!.

Those like Izzi advertise "surf anywhere" but when you really ask?..its Klang valley only..

Penang has better and cheaper food (and cost of living) but KL is where most of the stuff is happening.

Plus PC hardware is most costly and harder to get in Penang.

This is what you get when you keep Koh Tsu Koon in power for so long...

Yeah, there should be free and public WiFi access.

The only reason for me to visit Penang is food.

Other than that, KL FTW!

I'm with the impression that cellphones are slightly cheaper in Penang than Klang valley. I've come across some Low Yat phone sellers based in Penang that retails phones at better prices than KL. Not much, but gives you impression its amazingly cheaper there.
As long as we have BN ruling the land, we're all kena tax for personal imports at the 2 border points. They're more of vultures than taxmen. 30% for hifi related items.. WTF????..

I believe that's because shop rental in Penang is cheaper.

Hehe.. Like they say, it's all about the money.

Getting back to Camerons, AFAIK, when I was there, there were 3 main brands of tea. Boh tea, Bharat and Blue Valley tea. Its wierd, we don't see the latter two brands at local shops, and believe its exported out, to where I'm clueless.
Frankly I consume only Lipton Yellow Label tea. Its still the best tasting tea for my home brewed teh tarik.
For info, DYKT the late and most respected Tunku Abdul Rahman preferred his own concoction of mixing Boh and Lipton tea leaves for his personal consumption. I tried it and its NOT BAD!..but Teh-O! ya!.
DYKT you can use the same tea but with different brands of condensed milk, the tea can taste entirely different..some even YUKkkkkk!.
Yes, I speak from experience, as I drink TEA..no coffee for me.
