"Describe" Penang beacuse you are planning a trip, because you want to practice writing in English on a variety of travel topics, because...

A query of this sort makes me feel as though I am being asked to help an ESL student complete a written assignment for class. You can find better travel guidance here if you give us a sense of your interests, your goals, your budget, and all the factors that will shape a particular trip.

I'm asking because I will go to penang malaysia this coming october...

rhkkmk

from your place going to penang, what transportation did you use?
I am asking because we are planing to try gonig there by cruise but still not yet confirm..

we flew via kuala lumpur on air asia... we were coming from bali

zardom, if you are interested in Penang, don't go on a cruise. You would want to stay for several days in Georgetown.. Opt for the E&O if you can afford it.

We flew from Bangkok to Penang on Thai Air.

Why would it make difference how I got to Penang from wherever I was (Bangkok, at the time), don't you want to know how to get there from where you are?

Based on your other threads this looks very much like a disguised opinion survey and I'm not playing.

If you dont want to give your opinion, that is fine with me...

thanks for those who replied...

It's the way you are asking the questions zardom. More like a survey or class assignment then a real travel question. Rewords your questions and you'll get better answers and from more people as well.
