Penang/Georgetown, Malaysia



This island, or at least part of it, is a Unesco World Heritage Site due to the architecture. It reminded me of both Hanoi and Saigon. Penang is noted for it's street food. We've eaten in the old quarter and had some really good food. The Chinese have influenced the food, which makes for it's unique taste. Yum!

Yap Temple














We took the bus to Penang Hill to ride the new and improved funicular to the top. It was a typical grey skies day, so the views weren't very good.

Empty on Sunday morning.
Too long in the steamy heat.

We did NO bus chasing.
