A view of the ferry landing area, marina in the background.
George Town is a busy city with lots of traffic, cars, buses and pedestrian.
The British colonial influence on the architecture.
No velvet pictures of Elvis but all kinds of other stuff
Amongst the colonial building are numerous temples- Chinese, Hindu and Buddhist.
No the monkey's are not quite in downtown but not far from it. This was a view as we were walking from the Thailand consulate to visit the botanical gardens.
The botanical gardens.
View from Penang Hill. The top at an elevation is 2700' above George Town. Access is via a railroad built by the Swiss in 1923, now being upgraded, a four wheel drive road or hiking trails.
Kathy busy shopping for the latest "Harry Potter" movie. Dvd's are sold for 5Rm or $1.75 US buy 5 and get one free. Yes the had "Harry" and in addition Kathy found lots more.
Transport via bicycle rickshaw is a great method of going in some of the crowed areas of George Town. here a driver takes a break.
These driver's will probably need breaks after pedaling us around. Cost 30Rm per hour.
