Pulau Pinang Travel Guide

This Island is amazing. Spend a few days in Georgetown. This old colonial city is a amazing mix of cultures and there fore there is an incrediable mix of  religions, food languages and ambiance. Go during Chinese New Year if you can. The China town "Open House" is amazing but it is hot so take a umbrella. Take covering clothing for temple visits and cover up a little bit if you can as a woman as it is predominantly muslim. Its ok to wear a t-shirt but as a respect thing i wouldn't wander around in short shorts. Compare money deals with the different exchange places as you can wheel and deal if up for it. And for cheap amazing food go to the Red Garden food court.
