Penang - Streetscapes

All Shapes and Sizes

Barbershop.

Alleyway.

Armenian Street. The Armenian merchants who once dominated this area in the 19th century are long gone. A block from here is the regional headquarters of Soon Yat-sen's Meng Hooi party.

The ladies taking a rest at a juice shop. From left to right: Yin-Yin, Dodo and MC.

Classic shophouse architecture. Much of the historic section of the city looks like this. Singapore used to look like this too but they knocked most of it down and built skyscrapers.

Chinese temple.

Night market. You can ride your bike right up to the vendor, order, wait and take it to go.
