Penang Trip - Transportation 4

After a quite long waiting for the luggage my dad line up for an airport taxi. This is the last public transport I used.

Next, I used Air Asia flight, the low cost carrier famous in this region. It cost us RM250 for two ways for both of us including airport tax. Very cheap right?

This is my first time I traveled using using public transport and only with my Dad. And a lot of people are curious about this ... the bus driver, the police man, the ticket bus attendance, the stewardess, the taxi driver, the McDonald waitress, the hotel bell boy ... all of them asked "Where is his mother? I look at my Dad and he's getting bored and he look like he's going to put a cardboard and put a word "His mother is working" and hang it on my neck.



Only when the stewardess said to me, "Oh ... so lucky you have such a good father that so good of taking care of you. 'Bapa Mithali'". 'Bapa Mithali mean a real good super Dad. My Dad's face changed, and I can see he's smiling like a Barney. A big smile.
