Penang Island is a very interesting place. George Town is known as one of the famous World Heritage Site, basically were stuck at around 50s & 60s. We've even got a Georgetown World Heritage Day, to celebrate and embrace we've earn the title of World Heritage Site! Penangites are a bunch of nostalgic people, we tend of keep a lot of antique that wereleft behind from our grandparents, the terrace houses in George Town itself is the antique from every pieces of tiles to doors and windows, all of them were beautifully decorated. Before you go through my picture, please enjoy the music as attached, it was a famous singer named Pan Xiu Qiong. She was born in Macau, but being brought up at Peninsular Malaysia back in early 30s. In the 50s, she moved to Singapore, then to Hong Kong to build her career through singing, she was being honoured as the queen of bassist. 槟城是一个很有趣的岛屿，有幸能到访槟岛的话，你会发觉乔治市几乎是停留在50-60年代。政府还特定7月7日为一天假日，目的是要庆祝乔治市被誉为世界文化遗产区！槟城人大多都是怀旧的人，会有很多人会收集长辈们留下来的古董，而且乔治市本身就是一座古董城市！在还没有继续看我的照片的时候，请大家欣赏这位歌手 - 潘秀琼，出生于澳门，成长于马来半岛，於1950年代从新加坡到香港去发展音乐和电影，也被誉为低音皇后！

This picture was shoot at Campbell Street. A very strong sense of nostalgic loom across the street, neon light signboard and old school chinese wording at shop's name. This definitely were one of the rare scene that you won't see from your ordinary day. 这张照片是在槟城新街拍的。可以看到整条街道的氛围犹如香港的街道，琳琅满目的城市霓虹灯招牌把这条街道的感觉就锁在了50-60年代！

This was the front door of a small cafe. On my visits, the owner went for holiday travel, or else i would have had their famous nanyang coffee!

这是一间小咖啡馆，去到的时候店主去旅行了，所以没有开，不然就可以品尝这里出名的南洋咖啡！

This might be one of the best shot i've got on that day, personally, i'm a bike person. Both of those bike were seriously making me feel all nostalgic. 这两辆摩托车就是最好的证据，来证明槟城乔治市真的是冻龄岛屿！
