Day 75(March 20) Penang, Malaysia

Today I went on another “highlights of” tour and visited the Georgetown historic UNESCO world heritage site with it’s Chinese clan houses. We visited one of the richest clan homes and one of the poorest. Plus we visited the Chaiya Mangalaram Buddhist Temple with it’s reclining Buddha and The Penang Malay Gallery showcasing the Malay culture.
