IF you have yet to explore the “Pearl of the Orient”, be sure to do it this holiday. And if you live in Penang and think you have seen all there is to see, we have things for you as well. In a nutshell, Penang is an amalgam of the old and new – alongside monuments from its historical past are skyscrapers that reflect the rapid development that has taken place over the last 10 to 15 years on the island.
For out-of-state visitors, especially city dwellers, don’t hop on a bus or taxi to go around the island. Get on a trishaw. The riders may look frail but, trust me, they will get you to where you want to go safely, even through the bustling heart of the city.
