Penang Malaysia: Day 2 - Vintage and colorful!

The following day, we had our free breakfast from the Century Bay Apartment and then headed to our next destination.

Reclining Buddha - Wat Chaiya Mangkalaram

After the Reclining Buddha, we also visited an Art Gallery.

Blue Mansion - Cheong Fat Tze Mansion

What's next? Georgetown!!

Georgetown is the capital of the state of Penang in Malaysia. Named after Britain's King George III, George Town is located on the north-east corner of Penang Island. The inner city has a population of 720,202 and the metropolitan area which consists of Penang Island, Seberang Prai, Sungai Petani and Kulim has a combined population of 2,251,042, making it the second largest metropolitan area in Malaysia.

You will see all the amazing and creative Art Walls in this place.  You can also enjoy the beauty of the vintage houses and walls along the way.  We had our own van but to enjoy George Town it was a great idea to rent bicycles! We all went ahead and rode the bikes ~ I felt like my young self again enjoying biking!  As you walk along the Art wall of the kids riding a bike, you will the place where you can rent a bike.

They gave us a map of where the Art Walls were located and Sweets was the one who led the way!  We also enjoyed the thrills of crossing the traffic lights! Whew!

I will be discussing about the Art Walls in Penang in another entry.

Because we were not able to enjoy Pasar Malam, we then searched for the Saturday Pasar Malam.  It took us a while to look for the Saturday Pasar Malam since we all ran out of cellphone battery therefore no GPS (we got really dependent with GPS).  Just when we were supposed to use the old fahioned way of finding a location (asking people around) someone (Karl, Reo, Ced, Nelvs) thought of using Karl's laptop as battery. Then we were all alive again! We found hope that we can find the Saturday Pasar Malam and we did!! Yehey!  We also had our dinner there.

For those who are not familiar with Pasar Malam, it is also known as Night Market.  There were many stalls that sells all kinds of stuff, including clothes, cellpone case, shoes, slippers and a lot lot lot Food!

When we got back to our apartment, we already packed our things to get ready for the following day's check out.

Another enjoyed day specially because of the biking!
