Cemetery




The red circle is where Francis Light lies. Hes a british who founded Penang. This cemetery was within walking distance from my hotel. It was peaceful under the shady trees despite the heavy traffic outside the walls.











Lunch



Durian









We climbed this mountain by car and tried some durian. We orderd seven and finished them all within six of us. THats alot of durian. Most i have eaten in my entire life. What a delicacy. I cant remember when the last time i was standing underneath a durian tree but again are you sure you wanna after seeing those thorny fruits. Each could weigh up to 25lbs. Trust me thats suicide if you ask me.

By the sea







Penang















So we ventured around Penang and I was most interested in the older architectures of Penang and the heavy culture of the chinese settlers in the city. Here are some historical buildings that are homes, convenient stores, restaurants and some parts of the city theres modern hip hang out joints in these architectures.
