Hello everybody!
That was an August. Our friend came over from Dubai and we again had spontaneous trip, this time we went to Penang island. It is our second visit to this beautiful place. First we had our honeymoon and spent the time on the beach, now we were in the city.
Checked-in in the Hotel 19, small, basic but comfortable and clean hotel in the heart of the city.
Reminds me my University buildings back home at Kazan, Russia.

View from our Hotel.
Parked the car and went to explore the city. First impression is old city, narrow roads, lots of Chinese and Indian temples, colonial architecture.
They have so called Armenian street.
I was very excited but actually now it is just a name, there is nothing Armenian there anymore. In 19th century there was an Armenian community over here but unfortunately they left in 1930-s. Have no idea what was the reason but I was sad as I wanted to have some delicious Armenian dishes.
The city of Georgetown is famous with it street arts.
Our friend from Australia was organizing photography festival and we were invited for opening ceremony.
Being surrounded by artistic people from all around the globe is an interesting feeling. These people are very individualistic and have own point of view.
Georgetown reminded me Istanbul. Same narrow streets, many of nice and exclusive cafes.
