Georgetown

Yesterday we arrived in Georgetown on the island of Penang, a city that has world heritage listing.

It was settled by the British in 1786 and has retained many of its historic buildings.

We have only had a quick look around so far, but already I can see the diversity in cultural influences here.

We are staying at yeng Keng hotel which is lovely with Chinese style.

The next two photos show street scenes.

They could be described as cluttered, haphazard, chaotic to Australian eyes.

But somehow it seems to work, although you do have to literally watch where you put your feet.

Looking forward to seeing more today.
