The adventure starts

Should i go to Bukit Kayu Hitam? should i go to Taiping? hey! wat about "visiting" Penang?!! she and i haven't been to some places... so set!! we decided on the War Museum, Kek Lok Si and the Blue Mansion! yeay.. we got a plan!
Saturday, woke up early, went to fetch her and headed first for the War Museum. 10 am we reached and it was cooling. we were in awe the first glance we had.... entrance fee was RM15... yea i know quite $$$... but then, compared to what the POW (Prisoners of War) had to go through there, no $$ can compare to that... so before we started, we had a brief explanation of what this place is about and was told to follow the red arrows... do not go off course!
*to those who are interested in going, wear sports shoes and light clothings... i tell u... if not.. u'll regret
the first thing u see before the entrance to the War Museum
so once we started, the first exhibition was a tunnel... there was light so we went in.. hahah... it was a storage room for the explosives and guns and what not... interesting... from there there were more tunnels where u got to crawl and climb, but we dare not (i know, chicken shits!) anyyyywayyy.... the brouchure said to follow the RED ARROWS and there were no arrows stating to climb and crawl through tunnels?!!

the tunnel we went through

and so we came out from there and just followed the arrows, next we were lead to this place they call the shooting range or something like that... and it seems there were a few of these.. and everyone of them had storage for bullets AND quaters for the "Officer in Charge" hahhaha.... quite creepy actually... knowing so much shooting and firing was done here... and we could see the sea from here... so i guess they were shooting the ships or intruders coming from sea... but now it's all hedges and jungle... no clear view

at the Officer-in-Charge quaters
