Proud to be a Penangite!

Came across this while I was browsing the web – an article titled “Yahoo! Lists Penang among world’s top 10”. Well the article dated back to February last year (Click here to read the article). But yet I feel really proud as a Penangite!

Before leaving Penang for my studies, I took many things for granted – the good food, everywhere is in close proximity, everything is cheap. Penang’s community is very close and helpful. Everyone is somehow related to someone that you know – whether it’s the photoshop owner, the plumber, the hair dresser. If you need recommendations for plumber, you can ask the photoshop owner.

Penang is like an interception of the old and modern. For instance having Komtar, Prangin Mall and 1st Avenue - three shopping malls together (and nearby Gama - an extremely old but still surviving mini mall) and surrounded by pre-war houses. Simply Amazing!  

Not to mentioned – it’s an island with everything you need – hills, beaches, parks, food, water dams, shopping malls, pre-war houses, monkeys, fruit farms, trishaw, ferries, jetty.
