Throwback to old Penang
Last Saturday my best friend Summer had a photo shoot at the the Heritage Site of Penang. She asked me to tag along and I pounced at the opportunity..as I had always wanted to take some pics of the Heritage Site (and of course provide morale support for her!) I have previous posts on Penang which you can view by clicking Here and Here.
Most popular street - You'll find heritage gems here
Inside Colonial Restaurant - very beautiful as it is filled with paintings and a wonderful air well
Go green
Go green
oops, some uncle forgot his glasses!
You can find a map at the information centre (located near Khoo Kongsi - Off Armenian Street) and off you go on a Heritage Trail. I'm only going to focus on 3 sites, but particularly on the Cheah Clan House - which is Summer's heritage ;) There are a few Chinese Clan houses over here and the most famous one is the Khoo Kongsi. I haven't entered if yet! Planning to =D

Entrance
Cheah Kongsi has no entrance fee
You can find many trishaw riders who are willing to take you along these streets to have a real 'feel' of the whole place. Traders' Hotel in town has this service where you can have a trishaw ride to visit all the Heritage Sites. Here's one tourist ;)
Paint the town red
At the top part of the picture you can see beautiful wooden designs - I believe it has some Malay design influence on it.
The bungalow that's also a temple
He's bringing sexy back
Tiled floors
Over here you can read all about this place. There's numerous newspaper cuttings that's posted up to understand more about the history of this place.
Size don't matter - found a beautiful bonzai plant in the middle of the courtyard.
Staircase - I like the design
Gilded doors
Temple
The Yap Clan
Now, for some pics of the photographers (Yoong Nian and Naga) during the photoshoot :)

Thanks. Your pictures are all lovely too. That is a pretty name. I am learning how to speak Spanish too. One of my mom's helper is teaching two of my niece and I. It is fun. Hope you have a great weekend.

Entonces, una semana de trabajo sin venir aquí y tu incluso no recuerdas màs que Blogtrotter todavía existe... ;)
Have a great weekend!
GMG: Por supuesto que no se olvidó de tu blog!
Come to Penang =D
For the time being I'm just re-visiting your post...
And I found the subtitle; «what goes in must come out». Amazing... ;))
Have a great and long Easter weekend!

it's a good twist taking the photos of the photographers instead of the 'model' :)
