George Town (Penang) Malaysia

Our last stop in Malaysia is the city of George Town on Penang island.  George Town is the 2nd largest city in Malaysia (after Kuala Lumpur) and is known for its British colonial buildings, street art, Chinese shophouses and mosques.  During our 2 hour bus ride around the city center, we saw many different houses of worship: Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, Catholic, and Protestant.  Trishaws are a common way for tourists to see the city sights.  Famous show designer, Jimmy Choo, is from here.
