1 Sep 2018 - Penang Day 2: Penang Street Murals

Other than Street Food, Penang is also famous for its Street Arts.  The iconic art installations were a part of the government’s initiative to bring out the city’s distinct identity and multiculturalism.  These murals are all over George Town, a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site.  Let's take a look at some of these whimsical art pieces.

Along the street, we saw something very familiar, especially to Jerlene and Javier when they have tummy ache.  It's a giant version though!  :-)
