What's in Penang?

Besides went for a travel outside Malaysia, why not we discover the uniqueness of our own country :) It's cheaper! and suits with a student like me :)


Let's plan and explore Georgetown,Penang and discover why the place is famous with tourists local and foreigner a like.

What I adore about this place is, Georgetown is the capital state of Penang and is also listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2008 together with Melacca. Life is nearly the same here as it was decades ago and perhaps that is why it's considered the most tourist-visited destination in Malaysia. 

The inner city itself is pretty small and the streets are very navigable just by walking or riding on a rickshaw. There were so many things to do here and a llittle corners to explore.

Took off to Penang with my backpack early morning. Just so you know, this is actually one of those "long awaited trips" of mine. I've always wanted to visit the streets of Penang ever since I saw one of my friend's photos about the mural paintings. =D

Went there by car with a group of my cousins and it took us around 4 hours of driving from KL to Penang. As soon as we reached at our apartment, we put our things and checked-in. 

Flamingo by the beach Hotel.

yupp. We stayed at Flamingo Hotel at Tanjung Bungah. It was pretty near Georgetown so it will not be a problem for us. The price for the hotel is quite pricy. But, there are more of a cheaper hotel at Georetown. So you travelers can just google it for a place to stay =)






The first mural painting we saw
























There are plenty more art paintings that you can found here in Penang. These are just some of the street arts that we found. It was pretty amazing right? :)
