Georgetown is located on Penang Island (Pulau Pinang) in Malaysia, but cities by that name can be found in every country ever occupied by the British… This Georgetown, however, really stands out.
The ethnic minorities have developed cultures completely unique to the island, and the different religious and cultural festivals are out of this world.
Another trick Penang has up its sleeve is the next level street food.
The time you are not spending eating and gazing at insane festivals should be spend walking the streets studying everyday life and street art.
