Penang - Georgetown

If we're honest we haven't been over whelmed by Malaysia. We may have been unlucky with people we have met and places we've stayed but the country is pretty dirty, and the people can be really rude, money grabbing and deceitful. They dont seem proud of their environment and I've never seen so many rats in my life.

Visiting Georgetown on Penang turned things around for us a bit. UNESCO have just declared it a World Heritage Site and I can see why. There is some beautiful colonial architecture and a rich and diverse mix of cultures and peoples. We had a great time strolling around and sweating and eating alot. Last chance to get a decent curry for a while.

Amazing Mosque

Ridiculously ornate Chinese Clan House

Strange cards
