Penang - A land with lots of Hokkien Lan

        I am glad that I have time to stay in Penang for a couple of days after the mission trip. I have been away for a year, yet, the city was still as stunning as I remembered. So, what had we done in Penang? We went for mural hunt. Penang is one of the top destinations in Malaysia. Penang is famous of its beaches, food and heritage culture. Georgetown became a UNESCO world heritage site in 2008. After winning the award, an art challenge had been organised by the State government to give the city the image of being the "living museum". It was won by "Voices from people". "Voices from people" consists of 52 steel caricatures. These steel caricatures had greatly reflect the living style of Penang people. In 2012, Georgetown commissioned Ernest Zacharevic from Lithuania for the "Mirrors George Town" project.

In 2013, there were a group of artist who install street arts in various location. The objective of the street arts is to raise the awareness over helping the stray animals to find its shelter. This is my third time doing mural hunting with my friends. In cloud nine, we started our journey. It drizzled, yet, it did not stop us from continue our trip. 

Our first Stop is Chew Jetty.

Too bad, The mural - Children in a boat disappeared. T^T

           

            We spent the whole morning walking and searching the street arts around the city. Penang people were very friendly. They showed us the direction of the street art when we were lost. An auntie gave us the map which shows all the street art location. Kimberly and I had lots of fun. We visited the Upside down museum and the famous restaurant - China House. I am happy that I could take photos with most of the street arts before it disappeared. I had bought a set of Penang mural art magnet in remembrance of the vanished artworks. That gives me a better reasons to take more photos with the street arts while it still there.That ends the Penang mural hunt. 

After taking photos, we departed to dream mall to have a glimpse of Eye of Kaohshiong.

          Our tummy was fully fed at Liuhe Night Market. The night market happened to be a few minutes walk from our house. I made a very careless mistake, I lost my water bottle while walking around. T^T Oh yeah, before ending the day, we happened to bump into a park with lots of train while we were searching our way back home. If not mistaken, it should be the train gallery. There are a lots of people walking around.
