EXPLORAQUEST PENANG - TALLEST WATER HYDRANT JALAN BURMAH - 5.2.2009

By George, this must be the tallest water hydrant (noticed along Jalan Burmah) in the world!

It's definitely taller than the Kancil and just about as tall as this Honda!

No..this hydrant in Kg Sg Pinang village is about the same height as Mei!
The hydrant is probably another No. 1 product of Malaysia.

Now, who says there's nothing to see and nothing to do in Penang?
