Penang Malaysia, Cycling To Penang, Pearl Of The Orient

Living in north Malaysia one Streamyx Streamyx Adsl24358 not avoid going to Penang. I have been on and of cycling to Streamyx Streamyx42461 dozens of time by now. Sometimes local Malaysian look surprised when they hear I do that. In fact it's all not difficult. But is it Streamyx Streamyx Speedtest58526 pleasure? Well, depending on from where you come, it's good to do.

Cycling to Penang from Pulau Pangkor

Pulau Pangkor is located about 190 km south of Penang. For most people 190 km is too Streamyx Broadband to cycle in one day. The good news is that there are a few towns in between Pangkor and Penang where you find hotels.

Leaving Pangkor, Sitiawan, where I live is nearby, there are two roads north to Taiping. One follows Streamyx Streamyx Router88965 to Ayer Tawar and then Bruas, the second, much preferred by locals who drive a car, goes along the coast to Pantai Remis, 35 away from Pangkor, Here's a very nice and clean hotel. If you decide to take this road, there's a few slight hills on the way. The turtle breeding station near Segari is worth a stop. A few km after Pantai Remis you can leave this sometimes very busy road using the junction to Bruas. This road runs for about 10 km. At the end, you Streamyx Streamyx Test95249 at a T junction, you follow the direction to Trong and Taiping, 30 km further on. Going straight leads you also to Trong and Taiping.

Taiping is a really neat city. The Taiping zoo is a must visit, I think. The setting in the hills and the way the zoo has organized their animals is good done and it Streamyx43384 give you a good day. The nearby Maxwell Hills and Lake Gardens are beautiful. After Taiping, you can cycle north, following road number 1. However, you do some nicer roads. Follow the direction to Streamyx Wireless89701 and then to Gerik. You will follow the hills on your right hand. It's a pleasant and easy ride. After about 15 km you will follow the direction to Bagan Serai. This road is very quiet and swindles through the hills though is never busy.

At the junction Streamyx Online road 1, you can straight to Kuala Gula and Kuala Kurau. It goes through the flat lands and plantations. Kuala Kurau is 20 km from here.

In Kuala Kurau you have no choice, you have to go to Parit Buntar, there's hotels in town and follow road 1 to Penang. This is not a pleasant road to cycle. It's a busy road with lots of trucks and cars and follows many smaller towns before it comes to the junction to Bukit Mertajam. From here you have to follow the motorway. Be careful, cars and trucks are used to motorbikes here so it is not impossible to cycle here but certainly not a pleasure. From the bridge it's 9 km to the Butterworth ferry.

Cycling in China, Yangshuo near Guilin

This road is Streamyx Wireless43661 traveled by tourist but it's worth to do so. As a cyclist myself, I have done this road a few times up and down, so to say. If you have already seen Langkawi and want to go into Thailand a different way, this is an excellent opportunity.

I will skip how to cycle to Betong, you can read it here. Betong is the Thai border town in south Thailand. The town is small and Streamyx Adsl54284 used by foreigners but many Malaysians from Penang and other areas in north west Malaysia come here regularly for shopping.

The border is 7km away from the city center. A cyclist needs to know the road from Betong goes all the way up, never steep though. The border is easy and quick. After the border you follow simply the direction to Butterworth, the mainland city opposite of Georgetown, Penang. Pengkalan Hulu can be your first stop, there's hotels and banks and only 7km from the border.

After Pengkalan Hulu the next major town will be Baling. Like Pengkalan Hulu there's hotels too and it's a pleasant overnight stay here. The town is surrounded by hills and there's some great walks to make in the surrounding. In fact, it's a much overlooked tourist area but worth a visit.

You will find some more serious climbing on the way to Baling. Although the road is not going very high there's a few short but steep parts. But as it usually goes, what goes, must come down too. After Baling, the road will continue to be quiet for many kilometers. In fact, until some kilometers before Kulim, it will be quiet though the road looks like a major motorway. After Kulim it will be busier but there's a motorbike lane so you will be safe. The part on the motorway from Kulim to Penang is not pleasant, neither beautiful. Streamyx Streamyx Availability73069 you can go into Kulim and follow the directions to Butterworth on old roads, mostly following busy towns. But this too, is not really appealing. Both roads are busy with trucks, busses and cars.

The closer you come to Penang, the busier the road and the less there is to see. Cycling to Penang from Betong is about 100km.

Cycling to Penang from the north

Cycling to Penang from the north is not recommended as it follows mostly big busy roads and there's not much to hold your breath. A nicer option is to take the boat from Penang to Langkawi and then a boat to Satun.

Bukit Mertajam junction to Butterworth ferry
Going into Butterworth is not a pleasant experience. There's one nice road in but it is hard to find, and even locals do not know it as it follows small roads where cars can't come. If you want to use this road, please email me.

Cycling to Penang is not for everyone

Cycling to Penang with Johan, near Pantai Remis
Cycling to Penang is not for everyone. It's a statement I hear every once in a while. I disagree. Why would it be easier for me than for you? A good example cycling to Penang is absolute possible for everyone is my journey with Johan, a 9 years old boy from Penang. Johan and I cycled the distance from Pangkor to Penang in 4 days, without a problem. Johan was cycling on a child bicycle with no gears. If he can cycle this distance, everybody can do it.

Peter van der Lans is a Dutchman who lives these days in Sitiawan Malaysia. After years of traveling, he cycled from Holland to Malaysia, stayed a months in the Middle East, a year on the Indian Subcontinent and 2 years in China plus a year in the UK, he settled himself in Malaysia.

Sitiawan was the perfect place to write a website about Pulau Pangkor. Later he wrote http://www.bicycle-adventures.com, an ongoing project about his journeys on bicycles. A third website: http://www.yangshuo-travel-guide.com he recently build. In the years in China, he lived in Yangshuo and he thinks he can tell the story about this pretty little town in China.

A Simple Guide to Wireless Networking

Most folks want that laptop for work, Streamyx Adsl36655 or college. Most laptops these days are Streamyx Dsl9302 enabled. That means that they have Streamyx modem Streamyx Streamyx Promotion8423 hardware and software built into the computer. To the average consumer, wireless Streamyx modem Streamyx Streamyx Router73116 form of magic. You turn it on and it works, right? Not always. Understanding the basics to wireless will help avoid Streamyx Streamyx Www U80333 and headaches.

First, before we get into the basics of wireless networking, I have a few opinions to express.

It seems that everybody wants to go wireless with their laptops and desktop PCs. Wireless for laptops makes sense, since they get moved around between work and home and points in between. You can always connect using the Wi-Fi network at work or steal bandwidth from someone else. There are hotspots all over. There are ethical questions involved with borrowing?your neighbors signal. Let Streamyx Speed21899 conscience be your guide.

Wireless for desktops is an open subject. Since most of us usually set our desktops up on our home or office workstations, they tend Streamyx Streamyx Guide51859 to move around. The only benefit of having a wireless desktop is that Streamyx dont have the expense and trouble of running Ethernet cable around your house. If you are not a DYIer, an Ethernet cable installation is an extra outlay. If youre lucky, your present PC is only a few feet away from your Broadband Modem. I personally prefer to have all my stationary PCs hooked up with Cat 5 Ethernet cables. That way I dont load up the wireless bandwidth on the router. Well talk more on bandwidth later.

There are hardware requirements to wireless networking. These are the things you need to communicate.

At home you need:

• (1) a Broadband internet connection (Cable or DSL modem),
• (2) a router to broadcast the wireless signal,
• (3) a wireless enabled computer.

You cannot set up a wireless network using a Dial-Up connection. Streamyx Promotion I recommend that you power off your Broadband Modem and any existing computer systems before you begin the installation of the wireless router. The computing equipment will start to Streamyx32206 with your router automatically on start up. This will get you on the network without confusion. The router and existing PCs should not need any further configuration. The default or current settings should work. Your PC should already be set to DHCP in your Network Connections TCP/IP properties window. If it werent you would not have been able to connect to your ISP. This is a default setting of your PC.

The Broadband internet connection gear should already be present. Thats the Cable or DSL Modem that your Internet Service Provider installed when you got their service. Its connected to the Cable or DSL filter connection coming from your wall. The Modem has two connectors as a rule. One for the Cable or DSL data into the Modem, and Streamyx RJ45 connector you probably have connected to the computer you have in service now.

Youll need to unplug the Ethernet cable between the computer and the Modem. Reconnect that cable to your wireless router. It goes into a RJ45 connector usually labeled WAN?for Wide Area Network. The only other connection you will need to make is to connect another Ethernet cable between from one of the wired ports on the back of the router to your PC. There are usually 4 of them. Any one will do to reconnect your existing PC so its on the network. The existing PC will get its internet connection through this port. Your routers default settings should allow you to start connecting to your Wi-Fi enabled computers.

If all the cables are correctly placed, you should now be able to get on the Internet from you existing computers and your wireless computers.

Some quick notes of interest:

• (A) Your Wi-Fi router is transmitting and receiving in the 2.4MHZ range. So are your Wi-Fi enabled computers. This is the same frequency range of a number of cordless telephones. You may have interference on your cordless phones once the Wi-Fi network is installed. If this occurs youll need to get 5.8 MHZ phones or put up with the noise.
• (B) One of the most common questions I get is ?strong>I bought a wireless laptop and I cant get on the internet. Why not??If your wireless router is installed properly, then your wireless laptop may need configuration. Go to your Network Places or Network Neighborhood for a wizard to help you set up your computer for wireless.
• (C) Bandwidth is the volume of traffic you can sustain through your network. The more devices using the Wi-Fi network, the slower the network uploads/downloads will be.

Remember, your wireless network works a lot like your cordless phone system. You need a transmitter/receiver at each end. Think of the router as the base station and the wireless PC as the handset. You cant talk on your cordless phone if the base station is unplugged. So without a wireless router in service, you cant communicate with the Internet. Hotspots are just spillover signal from someones wireless router.
