The plan to hike to Monkey Beach at the Penang National Park was almost ruin. Thanks to Ching Wen we were able to 'safe' the trip.A note on Penang National Park:
It is surprising how sometime Penang take pride in the tagname World Smallest National Park.
I mean is that even a statement to boast about?
We should have much larger areas of greenery with protected forest reserve to keep Penang alive. Then again, not just boasting about the 'smallest' thingy, hikers can get in and out of the park so freely that sometimes i thought it is damaging the park itself. It is, of course, all right to have visitors every now and then to the park. The point is that these 'invaders' will bring along so many 'unnatural' things into the forest and pollute them. Plastic bags all aroun, plastic bottles, wrappers, and all sort of things u can imagine. What is it for declaring it a national park when we are unable to maintain them?

Anyway, i had a wonderful time at the beach. OHHH...i really missed the beach. Though it is not the best, but at least i can feel the sand and hear the pounding waves. Excellent getaway. Except for those annoying amount of rubbish dump by the beach. Hope you all enjoyed it too. At least i know me and eang bee did.
Thanks xin yun for the excellent organizing.
Minden Fencers Roar!
