(^10) Georgetown, Penang
Although Georgetown’s centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it
remains a working town with Chinese shophouses where people live
and work. Rickshaws pedalled tourists around the labyrinth of chaotic
streets and cobbled pathways, past British Raj-era architecture,
strings of paper lanterns, and retro-chic pubs, boutiques, and cafes. I
spent the day searching for famous street art, with a camera in hand,
and my efforts were well rewarded. Street art was dotted all over
town, and locating it was an enjoyable challenge that took the best
part of the day.
Georgetown, Penang
I wasn’t entirely done with all I wanted to see in Georgetown, so I
extended my stay by one more day. I explored the narrow alleys,
discovered more street art, and came across many interesting sights.
My ramble led me past the joss stick maker, the goldsmith, the
garland makers and the ever-present food vendors. Through Little
India and Little China and past the old clan jetties, I meandered
before returning to my abode in Love Lane.
