By five in the afernoon we were at Georgetown, the capital of Penang Island. The bridge crossing had been a breeze and I marvelled at the engineering feat that had created it a thirteen and a half kilometre wonder. In Georgetown the bus trip finished in the centre of town at Komtar, the transport hub, where I found a taxi driver and asked him to take me to a hotel on the beach. He turned out to be another chatty fellow but this time I could understand him He said he would take me to the less expensive and less

I began my way to town again and eventually arrived at Komtar, the transport centre from where I had started the day before. Close by I caught the free hop on and off’ tourist bus, seemingly patronised almost entirely by locals; tourists who did arrive were swamped in the stampede to get on. After a while I began to be able to work out where I was. The bus passed some lovely buildings. The central area of Georgetown has been proclaimed World Heritage’ and there were marvellous sights everywhere I looked. The bus also stopped at the impressive Queen Elizabeth

I took the bus four stops in the town direction to the surgery where I was shown immediately into the dentist’s chair. And I was out and fixed in twenty minutes! I had imagined injections, several visits and long consultations about treatment and cost. But a slim young woman of few words sat me down, opened my mouth and set to work. No discussion, no waffle. She and her two assistants belted into me like mechanics doing a tyre change at a pit stop in a car race. There was just drilling and pasting and, most of all, there was

Clip-clopping through the three-in-the-morning pitch dark around town, we came to the Wonderful Guesthouse. It was secured all across its front with heavy iron screens as though they were expecting the Mongol hordes to descend on them in the night. I had a horrible feeling it was closed for good. It looked abandoned. And there was only one other place to stay in this town. But the driver knew better. He located a bell and rang it insistently and repeatedly until a light came on. I stood there looking as pathetic as I could. Bedraggled and frowsy as I was,

By the time I left him the taxi driver and I had spent two hours together. Unusually for Burma he had a fair command of English and we had some conversation. He asked me if Burma was known in Australia. Tentatively I said that Aung San Suu Kyi was known. Not so long ago merely speaking her name got you a gaol sentence, and I was still cautious about saying it. But he beamed and showed me her photo on his phone. He dropped me at the market where I bought a painting from the crippled boy who is always

A day later I boarded the train to the south, very glad to leave Bangkok, especially Kao San Street the tourists there were mostly an embarrassment. I had bought a train ticket to Hat Yai before I had left for Burma, planning to travel from there across to Songhla the ‘city between two seas’, an ancient trading port situated in the narrowest part of the Thai peninsular between the Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman Sea. I intended to stay there until it was time to go to Singapore and catch the Buxstar home. I looked up Songhla on the

But I gave in to an entreaty to visit the Jumping Cats Monastery; I would be drummed out of the Cat Lovers Society if it got out that I had knocked this back. The Nga Hpe Kyaung Monastery is entirely made of teak and inside it was dark, wonderfully cool and inhabited, not only by a lot of cats, but some impressive ancient statues on ornate mosaic plinths. The cats that used to perform the jumping tricks have grown old now and are way past jumping. I know exactly how they feel. The monk who trained the cats died last
