Luna Noor posing with street art in Georgetown

Penang is a state on the northwest coast of Malaysia. It has about 1.7 million inhabitants and is highly urbanized and industrialized. Georgetown is the capital city on Penang Island. Mostly Malay and Chinese people live there, but also Indian and other ethnicities. The religions that are practiced are Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, Cristian and Taoist faith. We got to visit/see some of the top attractions like Georgetown (streetart) and the Goddness of Mercy Statue and Gurney Drive Other than doing sightseeing for one day (hop on- hop off bus) in Georgetown we were quite lazy and stayed by the pool or the seaside nearby our hotel… 🙂

Luna Noor and some other beautiful flowers in Penang

Temple nearby Goddess of Mercy Statue

On our way from Kuala Lumpur to Penang we experienced for the first time in our lives to sit on business class… Wow! We had real glasses, big recliners, food was served before take-off and we were given blankets to be comfortable! Even if this is a one time experience, I have to admit it was a goooood one! 🙂

One of our favourite activities… swimming and relaxing by the pool of our hotel

…and by the seaside in front of our hotel
