A typical day in Alor Setar?

Greetings dear readers... This is my first posting at any of my blogspots for the current fasting month of Ramadhan which started two days ago... Just feel like sharing some pictures taken during my trip covering Pahang, Kelantan, Kedah, Perak and Selangor made more than 2 months ago...

These pictures were taken on 18th July 2007 after my first night in Alor Setar for that trip (I've been there a few time mind you)... You could say the story here continues from the Malay one made for the CATATAN SI MERAH SILU blogspot under the title Sekitar Alor Setar terutama di Langgar... written last month... Or you can say it relates to the story Alor Setar at last! made in this blogspot early August. Here goes...

This particular story starts after waking up at a cheap hotel above a Chinese restaurant in the capital of Kedah... See the mess here? That's what happens after one got so tired being on the road since the last 2 weeks...

I woke up and head for the verandah and decide to take some pictures... Facing my right is this view of Alor Setar...

This is the view facing direct ahead...

And this is to the left, a private university... Then I notice something I could use...

Upon closer scrutiny, I'm convinced there is a strategic point for something... I immediately rushed down...

There.... See it? What I saw was a nice place to hang the promotional poster for the "Berpetualang ke Aceh" book series, hehe! :]

That done, I took a shower and started looking out for breakfast... Saw this nice stall which serves rice porridge... Turn out to be quite something so I had two bowls of it...

A view of Alor Setar from the stall I was sitting...

Then I walked to Pekan Rabu and meandered at the bus stop there...

There... A typical sight when a bus arrives... So is this a typical day in Alor Setar? Hehe! :]
