Chew Jetty + Khoo Kong Si + Poh Hock Seah + Kok Hong

(Picture of the budak when we were at Chew Jetty)

I host this budak for about 2-3 days last weekend when he paid a visit to this so called beautiful Island in Malaysia, an island that full of Chinese Culture- Penang. :) He is a blogger whom I know thru blogging, a person who has is has KOK too in his name and he is the person who taught me Japanese sometimes to communicate with my Japanese Host Family "全部偽物".

Those photos posted here are small in size and without edit. This is due to I'm kind of Lazy recently to on photoshop, edit and resize it. So I choose to use another easy way to make those photos become small in size and easy to post in blog. As a result, those photos are not in Good Quality! Picture quality and colour might out....

I drove him to not much places in Penang actually. Bukit Mertajam for Makan and St. Ann Church, Chew Jetty, Poh Hock Seah, Khoo Kong Si, Kuan Yin Temple, Makan the best Penang Food, visiting the Getai in conjunction with the Hungry Ghost Festival, etc. Too bad, we dont have time to visit Bukit Bendera, Balik Pulau etc... Luckily he did visit Batu ferringhi Sunset Cafe with his friends on his last evening in Penang. Sunset Cafe is the very best place in Penang where you can see the BEST sunset at 6:45pm. Not much people know where it is actually.

Let's talk about Khoo Kongsi. I think most of the Penanites do not know that you need to pay RM 5 for the entrance fee to Khoo Kongsi. Upon your payment, you will receive 2 Khoo Kong Si Postcards and a sticker to enter the building. This was my 2nd time paying the entrance fee in order to visit Khoo Kongsi. Hopefully, in the coming month, our Hong Kong Leo pals will not ask me to visit this again. :) Lily, I promise you that I will go to Langkawi with you all provided I'm invited and some other F.O.C. Georgetown herritage sites.

Anyway, it is worthwhile to pay RM 5. Initialy, I was asking mysely why I still need to pay when I'm born in Penang. After entering the building, you will know where your RM 5 contribution goes to. For more pictures, stay tune and wait me to edit before posting (hopefully I will). You will understand more about the history of the buidling and there will be someone will kind to explain and answer your queries. That's what Kok Hong did. He loves Penang as he told me. Penang is just like another country. What makes him said so? It is because Penang has everything, Penang has more Chinese. From food and shopping to historical buidlings, Penang has it all.
