Day 2 - Colours of Pulau Pinang via Shumu! (November 2011)

Assalamualaikum,

Pulau Pinang, for non-Malaysians, is translated as the Penang Island.

Shumu, for my non-close friends, is actually the name of my car.

Below are the sights I captured while roaming around in Penang in my beloved, chubby car.

Old buildings, once shop houses. I always love this kind of architecture,  Colonial with an Oriental touch.

A Chinese family or colleagues, preparing offerings for the newly deceased. They do this everyday. Sometimes I see they make paper cars and paper houses for the goners to have in their after life.

An old house in Pulau Tikus.

A church which I cannot get its name.

Another old house. Yes I was fascinated to see that new offices which take place at old building with historical value in their architecture, must preserve a part of it apart of the new modern architecture so there's a fusion between the old and new. It's unfortunate I did not manage to snap their photos but you can see them scattered around in Penang. Kudos to the State Government.

The infamous luxury all suite heritage 5 Star Eastern & Oriental Hotel. Established in 1885.

We just drove past the front boulevard, the rear view from the ocean is supposed to be magnificent.

A colourful Hindu temple near our hotel.

A uniquely decorated Indian restaurant near Nasi Kandaq Line Clear, Maharaj.

An old house for sale.


Thanks for reading! =)

XOXO,
Sue
