A visit to Penang won't be complete without visiting its numerous street art. Here is the George Town street art I encountered during my brief stay.

My family and I were really excited to tour George Town, Penang. While our tour guide was courteous and friendly, we felt that the tour did not live up to our expectations. The highlight of the tour was our trip up to Penang Hill. We spent approximately 2 hours on Penang Hill, which didn't leave much time for touring the rest of George Town. In order to manage the time in a more effective manner, we felt that our tour guide should have accompanied us to the top of the Penang Hill. So, for the remainder of the tour we drove by the other historic sites. The only other stop we made was at a chocolate store which we could have done without.aaronrharry
