Overall

Penang is wonderful and very interesting as other reviews say. I want to concentrate on the hotel on top of Penang Hill. Its famous for its hot pot but what is not so well known is the verandah's unique sights! The roof of the verandah has 10-12 vipers crawling around. Hagman's Pit vipers which are poisonous but non agressive. I have some great video of my son and nieces eating and the Viper curled on a ledge 4-5 feet above them. At one time the snakes would occasionally fall onto the tables below but after several near heart attacks the management has put wire mesh to prevent it. They keep the snakes there as they cut down on rats and mice. Needless to say I would only recommend eating at the hotel, not staying there!!!
