Eric: Ok, let's do it!
I bought two tickets for us, first time flying Fireflyz to Penang, which turned out to be pleasant and comfortable and not forget to mention that it is cheap and affordable too!
Eric: I forgot how it feels the first time i fly......u want that feeling back, take FIREFLY! 8D

We promised that we gonna walk only... so shoes are very important. Result: we didnt feel anything at all!
Our first destination to stop in Penang or otherwise known as the Pearl of the Orient was the Penang War Museum. This War Museum is situated at the southeastern tip of Penang bearing postal address at Lot 1350, Mukim 12, Batu Maung, is about 20 mins drive from the airport. It is a large abandoned military fortress built in 1930's by the British to protect the southern approaches to the island. This 20 acres site is located on a hill.

Entrance fees per person: RM14.00 (if i'm not mistaken)
We were able to see the Straits of Melaka (although some part are covered by the trees). This complicated fort has all the features of a typical defence facilities with underground military tunnels and ammunition bunkers. There are even underground tunnels that go all the way to Straits of Melaka for access to submarine! Interesting right?

Our first attempt into the tunnel. A neverending long winding road that leads to somewhere else. You never know where you end up at. I think people can actually get lost in here.
This is even more spookier than the previous tunnels. We actually saw some kids tried to enter the tunnel but their parents shouted at them. It was filthy and god knows who died in there. *Chills.. down my spine*
Elie: I managed to get a shot of the above. It's very deep, almost like 7-8 metres up above. I'm afraid of heights. But while I was on the ladder, I did not dare to look down at all. Just go up, up, up!
Some tunnels even darker than this. And there's only one way in - so means if you enter a horizontal tunnel, you need to continue to do your squatting and there's no room for you to turn around your body. You need a big torch light. It was so dark, can't even see a thing. *Scary*
That's a shot of me climbing up. Still can carry bag what. Not bad.
Eric: Elie gotta go first...and im sweating already..... 8D
Elie: When I reached at the peak of the ladder. Man... I was busily adjusting my body to get our from the tunnel. But eventually I got out of from the vertical tunnel. Mission accomplished!
It was a thrilling experience. And I'm looking forward to visit one of the war museum in Vietnam in the future.
Eric: Does the chill worth the money?
Elie: DEFINITELY! :P
