Loo Pun Hong (Carpenters’ Guild) premises on Love Lane.

An old heritage building that dates back to 1886. I didn’t know what it was until I searched the name. But it was interesting enough to catch my attention.

The way it used to be.

Hawker stall on tricycle cart in Georgetown, Penang.

A hawker selling food on the backstreets. This is still a common sight in Penang. They are largely “extinct” in most other cities and urban towns in Malaysia where they operate in hawker centres and markets. Penang is considered a hawker food heaven among the Malaysian Chinese population and deservedly so.

Old shophouse in George Town, Penang.

Not sure if this is a hardware shop or coffee shop. It looks like a popular happy hour joint for pigeons.

Too tired to walk.

A rickshaw ride around the inner city of George Town.

George Town, the capital of Penang, is a city located on the north-east corner of Penang Island. The metropolitan area, with a combined population of more than 2.25 million, is the second largest in Malaysia. The inner city of George Town has a population of about 720,000 and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site recognised for its unique architectural and cultural townscape.

I have enjoyed exploring the city on foot. However, a rickshaw ride is a good alternative if your feet are tired.

Night shift.

Rural town in Kelantan.

Rural town at the Malaysian-Thailand border. It has a duty-free zone which is probably its main attraction as a place of interest.

Late afternoon on a street in Rantau Panjang, Kelantan.

In Malaysia, we drive on the left side of the road. The small towns are often congested as more buildings are built while the streets remain unchanged. Narrow streets and a lack of parking spaces are common in rural Malaysia.

Motorbikes provide a convenient way to get around the town. There are many of them in these rural towns.
