Things have been incredibly busy since returning to KL. In addition to my speech, there’s been a flurry of work-related excitement and opportunities. Also, we continue to map out various trips. Next up: Melaka for a week starting on Friday, Singapore in mid-October, and hopefully Thailand at the end of October. And now for some pics from Penang!
Pretty typical Georgetown buildings. Fact from guidebook: Penang has one of the largest concentrations of colonial architecture in Asia.
Pigs. Dead pigs.
More dead pigs.
The red lanterns were illuminated the first night we walked by this temple. It was raining and absolutely beautiful.
Will try not to subject you to too many alleyways but there are lots of pretty ones in this part of the world.
Can you tell I'm figuring out how to take pictures at night while not getting mugged at the same time? Luckily, someone's got my back.
I was so captivated by what was going on in these buildings. Printing presses, light manufacturing, benevolent societies - I wanted to invite myself in for a tour.
I love how some places can look so menacing at night yet so benign during the day.
Inside the temple. This reminded me of the walls of pictures at the House of Terror museum in Budapest but I'm sure these people are much nicer than the perpetrators featured there.
We ate at this delicious Punjabi place twice.
Right before a rainstorm in Georgetown.
Hopefully next time we'll have a little more free time. We basically worked all day (and often at night) but it was still nice to go on long strolls and eat good food.
