Its good to see ....
... that things are now back to normal. Thank you for the pictures. Hope visitors will return soon not just to Penang but also to Sri Lanka, Phuket, India and all the places that the Tsunami hit. This will help the economies of these areas and bring the lives of people there back to as normal as possible. may god bless the families of those who suffered so much.
