Dear Malay/Indonesian Symposium Participant,
Following is some information concerning accommodation in Penang,
from the internet.
Thanks to Peter Cole for his efforts in obtaining the information,
and apologies from me for not having done a better job of editing it.
Many of you may already have seen some of the enclosed
information, in which case apologies, also, for the repetition.
Looking forward to seeing you in Penang,
David Gil
Symposium Organizer
********************************************************************
Many of us are already booked at the Crown Prince Hotel.
The Crown Prince Hotel is offering a special "internet rate" of RM 135
per night (tax and buffet breakfast included), which comes to a little
under US $ 50. This is apparently about one half of the regular rate. (I
stayed at this hotel last year: it's international standard, situated
right on the beach, and the breakfasts are excellent.) In order to book,
fax the hotel, at 60-4-890-4777, and ask for the special internet rate,
specifying RM 135 per night. (Do not ask for a conference rate, as this
may be higher.)

The sun shines bright and warm, the Casuarinas sway gently in the
cool tropical breeze. From your window, you
see the waves coming in from the Andaman Sea, lapping the miles of
sun-drenched shores.
Welcome to the Lone Pine. A laid-back and cosy littel hideaway that still
retains much of its romantic old-world
charms. Nestled along the famous Batu Ferringhi Beach, it's an idyllic
getaway from the clutter of everyday life, a
marvellous spot for indulging in all sorts fo leisure and pleasure. Lie in
the sun, jog on the beach, sail a catamaran, build
sand castles or simply go for endless walks while the sun sets in a fiery
finale on the distant horizon. And when you tire of
all that, laze away by the poolside or just spread yourself on a deck chair
under the canopy of shady Casuarinas and
contemplate on the green leaves against a bringht blue sky.
The service, like the staff, is always warm and friendly, a clumination of
42 years of making travellers and holiday seekers
feel thoroughly at home while they are far away from theirs.
All well appointed rooms with sea views. IDD telephone, colour TV &
in-house video, fridge & minibar. Tea/coffee making
facilities in deluxe and superior rooms. Individual room temperature control.
