Monday , July 15th
I arrived in Penang in Malaysia this morning with my family. It was sunny and hot, so we decided to go to the beach near our hotel. My sister and I tried paragliding.
I felt like I was a bird. It was so exciting! For lunch, we had something very special——Malaysian yellow noodles. They were delicious! In the afternoon, we rode bicycles to Georgetown .

When we got to the top, it was raining really hard. We didn’t have an umbrella so we were wet and cold. It was terrible! And because of the bad weather, we couldn’t see anything below.
