I think they make the best vodka martinis in Penang there.<br /><br />Re the Cathay Hotel: the last time I took a peek in it, it didn't look too different from when it had featured in an early scene in "The Touch&YTSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930487923185001591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-86900793352990832912014-04-20T21:14:52.183+08:002014-04-20T21:14:52.183+08:00Hi Yvonne,

What I recall most about the E&O is drinking beers in the dark wood bar - and thinking about the ghosts of writers from the past who stayed here. (I didn't actually stay at the E&O, but at the more modest Cathay Hotel, years ago. I'm sure this hotel has been renovated and lost Billnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-34951295169229965902014-04-19T11:24:43.927+08:002014-04-19T11:24:43.927+08:00Hi Sue --

The thing with the gallery is that whereas I've worked on other exhibits, etc., I've never had been acknowledged so prominently as in the E&O Gallery! Also, exhibits tending to be on the temporary side, all the other ones I've worked on are no longer in existence... and sadly, I didn't take photos of many of them to remember themYTSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930487923185001591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-52870004837155719192014-04-19T10:44:52.845+08:002014-04-19T10:44:52.845+08:00Years ago, on my first visit to Penang, I stayed a...Years ago, on my first visit to Penang, I stayed at the Eastern & Oriental hotel.
