Very beautiful shots of Penang! The curry mee at Air Itam market is too familiar to me - my breakfast place on most of the Sundays. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Erina, I happen to come across this album, a year after it was put up, I think. I simply love the shots, especially the first one: it's a picture of serenity.

I grew up in Penang but now I'm Singaporean. Your pictures of my hometown invokes fond memories - yes...the food, the beaches, the people. I particularly like the bird's eye view of Gurney Drive. Thanks for the visual treat. Keep travelling!

Hey, Erina, just notice that you have discolored the surrounding and leaving the shop in color for your "shopping" photo. Well done and great try.
