Penang

Map

George Town in Penang is dominated by the Chinese. A number of the guest houses along the main 'Chinatown' street are used as brothels and at night the 'Lady-Men' start appearing, but it's a lively place and great for meeting up with other backpackers.

Right: Hindu Temple.

Below: View from Penang Hill. It was a little misty that day, but you can just make out the bridge linking Penang with mainland Malaysia.
