The next afternoon, I had some time off. Aw pestered me to go out to Georgetown but I was not very keen having just been there the week before. Later, we settled for nearby Teluk Bahang where at one time, a fisherman there purportedly caught a mermaid (inset) . The news was a fake of course but then, there are genuine attractions in Teluk Bahang. My roommate, Ong drove us to a little green spot in Teluk Bahang which I was not aware of all these while - The Hutan Lipur Teluk Bahang. It is a forest reserve in Penang, a little one but a gem, no doubt. There are man-made structures which mar it though; it's like having cracks on a piece of gem, but you'd still enjoy taking a stroll here, admiring some locals who may be taking a dip in the cool, clear water of a little gurgling brook. If you have time, you may even want to trek there like we did. You'd enjoy looking at the colourful flowers and mushrooms that grow wild on the floor of a lush tropical forest! There are gems on the forest floor!At Hutan Lipur Teluk Bahang... Look for the little wonders on the forest floor...
