A photojourney across Malaysia: Penang – Part 1

You spend most of your time in Penang craning your neck upwards.


This post is dedicated to the island state of Penang in northwestern Malaysia, where I spent a considerable amount of time during my visit late last year.

I was in Penang for the best part of a week, and hence, it is nearly impossible to capture everything that I did in one post.

This is merely part one for Penang, the first episode if you like, with more coming soon. This post is concentrated on the capital town of George Town and is suburbs.

Who doesn’t like a street brawl, especially in front of murals?
