a series of travel images from Malaysia, Penang, Pulau Pinang, George Town, a unique picturesque mix of Malay, Chinese, Indian and British influences. Penang (Malay: Pulau Pinang) is an island-state off the northwestern coast of Peninsular Malaysia with Georgetown as capital. With its lavishly decorated Peranakan shophouses and temples it's a great place to explore. Food with a spicy mixture of Malay, Chinese and Indian influences, is great as well; from simple street food and evening markets to restaurants. The old city is listed as a Unesco World Heritage Site.
