I have collected these photos from several days of ambling around the streets and alleys of George Town. Some from my morning runs.

Leave a comment Posted by on May 20, 2017

Iconic, colorful Penang ferries ply between Penang Island and Butterworth (mainland). When you leave Penang Island, you don’t have pay anything for the ferry ride. It’s only when you travel toward the island that you pay 1.20 ringgit per adult passenger.

Tanjung Aru Beach

Leave a comment Posted by on November 2, 2016

Tanjung Aru Beach is a public beach in Kota Kinabalu. When I was there to pass the time before going to the airport, I saw families and a group of young people having picnic, children playing, kite and ice cream ambulant vendors, and people waiting for the sunset. Some ladies, presumably tourists, dramatically posed for photos with the sunset as background.

Kedai Kopi Din Tokyo

This traditional coffee shop in Kota Bharu has nothing to do with Japan. Feels like the kopitiams in Singapore with its old town ambiance and good local coffee but instead of tables and chairs it has two long wooden benches for communal use, a ‘kopi bar’. I’ll never forget the very hospitable proprietor who handed 5 ringgit to my 8 yr old daughter as spontaneous gift. My total bill was I think 8 ringgit for 2 mugs of coffee and nasi berlauk.

Indigenous Breakfast

Ready to eat indigenous breakfast fare in various colors are plentiful inside Siti Khadijah Market. It’s wonderful to see places like this where there is obviously good demand by locals for local fare.

Folks having superiority complex over their local food and their culture in totality have not lost their identity in this era of globalization.
