Most of you probably have better pictures and seen more of Penang but in a limited time, this is pretty much what I did:
For breakfast I had nasi lemak and 2 idlis..it was delicious!
After done with the food, I went snooping around taking pictures of the clean restaurant and the food the workers were preparing for lunch
Then it was the Penang bridge
From the bridge it was to the temple-Kek Lok Si
I liked the design, very detailed and intricate
The flooring of the temples
Loved the way this god was posed. Very manly and powerful
Large spawning hill of pagoda and temples. I paid the 2 ringgit to climb the pagoda and was called back so I had to run back. Didn't even came close to climbing up the stairs
Looks like one of our Hindu Gods
I loved the statues. They all looked gorgeous washed in gold
The tower of mini gold coins
Female deities
Bronzed child-deity looked cute
Chandelier
The pagoda I missed
The snake temple
Streets of Penang
Lunch Thali...
...wiped clean!
The Thai Buddhist Temples were gorgeous, hands-down
The roof of temple
Golden Buddha
This is just the fan..
Money tree...and I found
50 ringgit on clipped on it!
Dancing damsels
Semi naked statue of a boy
Boys carrying a bell
Garudas
Designs on a wall
This was reportedly the most beautiful woman and the first female devotee of Buddha
The garuda, loyal companion of all Hindu gods
Some restoration and new work going on at the back of the temple
Unfinished painting
Buddha being welcomed to the heavens and encouraged by the gods as he takes off his princely custome and dons simple means of a bhrahmin
Love this shot, the sky looks so nice
The second Siammese Buddhist Temple I visited
The great banyan at the back provided great shade
I thought this was hilariously funny
The magnificent sleeping Buddha
Sky high ceilings adorned with miniature statues of Buddha
I was a bit surprised when I saw the back walls were sliced into cubes to house urns of the dead. Most of these people were from the early 1900s but I found some fresh ones from 2004
What the donation box said was irony seeming where it was placed
Pretty but dead
He he he
Dips Camera..better than my 2mg
And we are done for the day
Good bye Penang~ Till next time
