Long time no see... Pulau Penang

[goatstudio]

Long time never step on P.Penang, the last trip was 10 years ago. I was there to send my sis back to Maktab Penguruan. Went for a walk at Georgetown, and some famous spot in P.Penang. Not much changes in P.Pinang however...


The air pollution was so bad untill I can only shoot a clearer photo at night.

P.Pinang is famous of all kind of temples and churches. Here are Snake Temple, however I hardly find any snakes here...




The oldest temple in P.Penang.

My journey was a rush... can't really took much photo.
However it is worth to plan another trip for a closer look on P.Penang...

that foot of the hill laska 'sucks' in my view. so sweet. I have eaten lot of parts in penang and juru/ bukit matarajam and nothing comes close to the taste of the orginal penang laska. Also its house beside a big drain and you know how dirty the drains are. This stall is mostly visited by tourists, not many locals like that stall's laska.

overhyped overrated
