Pulau Penang is a beautiful Island that was most treasured by the English due to its strategic location for trading through SE Asia. With an eclectic mix of Chinese, Indian, Malay, and various other cultures it makes a great place to enjoy amazing food and surprisingly colorful colonial architecture in the city of Georgetown. There is also a great number of important shrine and temples in other parts of the island, but my favorite was its immense china town. Most of the Chinese still preserved very strong routes and a sense of their culture. You get to appreciate some amazing Chinese mansions and great food. On a side note I got to meet the last president from India as he visited some temples in the Island and enjoyed for the 3 days the company of Kyle, an american kid who with I shared a room after we meet on our arrival to the island.
