Dear Ruben, Good question! Perhaps it's because of its mixture of old and new or the Oriental mixed with Western heritage. It's an interesting place. The big shopping malls are very much like Singapore. At the same time, you can find old-looking streets like the one in my picture. You can visit this website for more info. http://www.malaysiasite.nl/penangeng.htm
When are you leaving for Perth? You must be very excited... :)

Ruben, you are half right. It's in Malaysia. Can you guess which part of Malaysia?
Is it in Malacca?
Quite near to Malacca. :)
If it is not Malacca and very near to Singapore, I guess it is Johor Bahru. Am I right?

No Yee Shyan. It's not JB. Still some distance from Malacca.
I think it is Penang.

Hey Ruben,
You are right this time! Great! How did you guess that it's Penang?
Here's some information about Penang.
* Widely known as the "Pearl of the Orient"
* Penang or its Malay name of Pulau Pinang is made up of a turtle-shaped island.
* There is a total of 292 square kilometers, and a strip of land called Seberang Prai on Peninsular Malaysia about 48 kilometers wide.
*Since 1985, the island has been joined to the mainland by the Penang Bridge, one of the longest bridges in the world.
* Well known for tar sau piah. Do you know what that is? It's my favourite! Maybe that's why I'm having a sore throat now.
It just came to my mind like that.I wish to go there!
Why do you think they call it "Pearl of the Orient?"

Why do you think they want to have old fashioned streets?
