i love it. i will go back one day. to this day, i still could not believe me and my friend MJ walked the whole trip. WALKED. just 2 feet walking on whatever pavement/tarmac/dirt we can find.
and the self exploring just the trip much more worthwhile.
Amelie Cafe, just before Khoo Kongsi
Blue Mansion
blue mansion tour (its really worth the tour, but there is only a few tours a day. but if you are interested, you could stay in the mansion too)
chew jetty - one of the many Hokkien Jetties around
penang coffee shop
artwork by artist Ernest Zacharevic, lovely. be sure to ask your hotel's reception desk for a copy of the map of all his artwork. you can't find those maps at the airports. another thing about (free) maps in penang, is they are NOT to be trusted. i suggest you go to their local bookstore (i got mine at POPULAR) to get a proper map, with small lanes and roads. IT HELPS.
these welded iron artworks are not by Ernest Zacharevic but you could easily find them near Ernest's works. as usual, you can't find them on the free maps. you need to go to your hotel or to a travel agency over there to get it. my friend and i took to these maps to "treasure hunt" these artworks and its very exciting!
khoo kongsi - a tired rickshaw driver taking a needed rest
eastern & oriental hotel - we didn't stay here, we stayed opposite it (Bayview Hotel Georgetown). we did make a promise that if we ever had the budget, we would come back to stay here
lovelane hotel is really a hotel. quite pricy but its worth to stay
peranakan museum - go for their tours
snake temples - lack of snakes though - i remember when i was a kid, i came to snake temple and the ground were filled with snakes.. literally a temple of snakes. but now they just kept them in dirty boxes, and cashing on a few bucks for photo-taking. its quite a sad environment for the snakes
sun yat sun building
