Penang Island

Unclaimed

A nice place to relax from the city buzz.. Simply relax, watch sight, good scenersnies and silence .. Penang is like a old world charm. There are modern buildings as well, yet old I'd still maintained. Life is much laid back there. Lots of tourists from across the world. Some places are made dirty by some careless tourists like casual littering. But overall a good weekend getaway. There are many places to visit from nature lovers to history, all can enjoy. Loads of cuisines to try. Just plan a weekend and extend few more days, 5 days or a week would be better. Simply recline, stroll, click pics, feel the vibe, dont dirty the island and go back with beautiful memories , relaxed mind and lungs filled with oxygen.

A very wonderful place to go to for a holiday. Be it with a loved one or together with friends. Food here is abundant and really good. A lot of sight seeing. Nice night life. Shops for days. Wonderful beaches. However of you are thinking of safety. Don't go alone. Better in groups as this is still a 3rd world place. Shisha beside the beach with a Starbucks in hand. Visiting the mountain on the love bridge. Going to the wonderful shopping malls. A place worthwhile with the right people.

Although the traffic on the island is tremendous, the island has great food to offer, great tourist spots, hiking and explorations spots, beaches and night spots. It has something to suit all who visits the island. You do need time to explore the local sites and not the tourist areas to experience the Penangite life

Being in Penang Malaysia.... I learned a lot about it's multi cultural society....it's food, people and way of life, all contribute in making Panang such a lively place to live. If you love history and learning about culture and what makes a country unique, taking a Heritage tour through George Town is definitely a way to gain some knowledge. From Little India with their many businesses, Hindu temples and street food, to Mosques, Bhudists & Chinese temples, and churches built side by side while everyone worship in peace and harmony. Penang is definitely one of those cities where you get a feeling of community spirit, people were generally friendly and welcoming. No pushy merchants...definitely a cultured people.
