Langkawi and Penang

As with the Bangkok trip, I have difficulty relating everything into words. Hence, pictures will speak for me. These are selected pics out of 400 over pics.


The Burmese Temple in Penang. Just opposite the Reclining Buddha Temple.


Hey, we're on candid camera!


Cable car in Langkawi...nothing grandeur about it.


My favourite spot among all places. Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion, Penang! Woohoo! RM300 to stay a night in this freaking cool mansion. Lol.


Some local chinese tycoon built this to commemorate Queen Victoria's birthday. This is just beside Port Swettenham, Penang.


Batu Ferengghi beach, Penang.


Sir Francis Chiang(not Light anymore.) at Fort Cornwallis, Penang.


The statue of the Goddess of Mercy at Kek Lok Si Temple in Penang


An aerial view of Langkawi's Pantai Kok from the cable car at <700m.(Coz the peak is 700m.)


A jetty beside a petrol kiosk. Passed by this area at least 3 times just to find that stupid Summer Palace where Anna and the King was shot.


Khoo Kongsi along Lebuh Armenian in Penang. Dr. Sun Yat Sen's Penang base is in the vicinity of that area, but I suggest you skip it.


Kek Lok Si Temple in Penang, one of the most magnificent Buddhist Temple I've ever seen.


Komtar Penang, the tallest tower in the whole of Penang. Only good for viewing.


Penang Municipal Council, located along the Esplanade.


Penang Bridge, 13.5km in length and is able to withstand earthquake up to 7.5 magnitude on the Ritcher scale.


Sakuntala. Whatever it is, it came from Bali and that was all I needed to know.


Venomous viper snakes in the Snake Temple, Penang.


St. Anne Cathedral. The oldest cathedral in Malaysia. Located on mainland Penang.


St. George Church, housing the memorial for Sir Francis Light is just beside the Penang Museum.
