Marking George Town
George Town,
Maleisië
On our way to Burma this year we stopped for a few days in Penang.
One of the must-do activities in Penang is the walking tour in George Town discovering the street art. There are 50 plus wrought-iron caricatures with anecdotal descriptions of the streets that they adorn and 20 or so murals.
I'll show you a few of my favourites.
We begin with "Kids on a Bicycle", probably the most famous painted by London-trained artist Ernest Zacharevic, in conjunction with the 2012 George Town Festival. It depicts a little girl taking her younger brother on a bicycle ride.
