Charm of a coastal sleepy old town, Penang
#freehotelstay
Living on a very modern city, sometimes i do forgot the charm of an old town, and Georgetown, Penang certainly has plenty of those charms.
At the heart of the city, the buildings' design still has that old Peranakan architecture, most of them have that shop house configuration, which the new cafes on the are brought out its own charm.
As an effort to attract more tourist in the city, lots of art installations, murals and graffity are scattered around the walls of various building, waiting to surprise you and take a snap at every turn.

Solo Chill at Budget in Georgetown, Penang
#hotelreview
A Budget Hotel Review.
For this whimsical trip, i know that the hotel i will stay will essentially just for sleeping. And as a person that don't really like room mates i chose a hotel that have a solo room with bath; and i found one at Grand Swiss hotel.
The rate for a night is around 25 SGD, which is within the budget.
I got a room in the 2nd floor, with no window but it is doable. The aircon is cold, they got water heater and the beddings is clean.
For the location, it was on Chulia street which is walking distance to all the tourist spots, and near KOMTAR as well (where you can alight from the Rapid bus 402E from the airport).
I say, it's a decent hotel for those on budget and will just stay for a day or two and will always be out and about

Crispy morning walk in Georgetown, Penang
#weekendgetaways
As someone from the province, Sunrise is oone of my favourite time of the day, with the cool crispy morning air(from a tropical girlie) it was a perfect time to walk around.
And in Penang, i think the morning is also a good time to see the city, free from traffic and numerous tourist roaming the streets.
Sunrise in Penang is around 7:30 - 8:00 AM, and i think the timing is just perfect, you can walk on the streets easily, set your tripods to take your pictures and you can take your time to do your poses and shots with no one is waiting for that certain spot.
Georgetown certainly looks like a sleepy town at the morning but does wake up in afternoon to night time.

A whimsical 30-hr trip to Georgetown, Penang
#thingstodo
Itinerary guide from a georgetown first timer
(30 hours+ stay only)
So last 11.11 sale, i had a whimsical purchase of a good priced tickets (from Trip) to Penang from Singapore.
And so for one of the weekend in January i flew from Changi T4 to Penang Interantional Airport.
Upon landing, I was contemplating if i would take a Grab (RM 25+) from Airport to my Hotel or take the bus to the city center, luckily when i stepped out of the airport doors, i saw an incoming Rapid Bus 401E coming to the bus stop, and so i ran to catch it~ the fare was only RM 2.70, what a good deal!
The travel time was around an hour, and i alight at Komtar. Since is was past lunch time, i ate on one of the nearby shopping malls around. After i was done and shopped a bit, i took a Grab to my hotel nearby for RM 5.00.
So this was my plan for the trip:
After Noon Plans (after 5pm)
📍Penang Hotel
📍Penang Esplanade
📍Fort Cornwallis
📍Walk aound the city
📍Back to Hotel
📍Dinner and Drinks at nearby bar at Chula st.
📍Sleep
Morning Plan (8am to 12nn check out)
📍Walk around to see street arts (after sunrise)
📍Breakfast
📍Pinang Peranakan Mansion
📍Walk around some more
📍Hotel Check out at noon
📍Lunch at China House
📍Art Lane
📍Grab to Queensbay mall (for shopping)
📍Grab to Penang Airport
And that's it, that was how i roughly spend my trip~
