We hike to the tourist information office in Georgetown. Penang is the island, and Georgetown is the city, first established as a port by the British. Georgetown is also a UNESCO World Heritage site, and walking around find the place to be very interesting. Still coming across these signs pointing toward Jalan Sehala. There is a very interesting collection of street art, with some interactive pieces, some of which are very famous for Penang. Penang is also considered one of the top food destinations in Asia, and we will agree. Food here is delicious, and very cheap. With the British settlement, there are many Indians here (people from India), so we also get our fill of samosas. Temperatures are still in the high 30's, so Slurpees from the 7 Elevens are a must, but no one makes a Slurpee like we do in Canada. We try the night market for a meal in the evening, but it is difficult to order and very crowded. As we are walking back, Cindy and I mention to the boys about the Jalan Sehala signs that point everywhere, but never seem to have a final destination. Luke explains that these are one way street signs. After all the teasing he has taken about the no boomerang sign in Australia, I believe he has redeemed himself, and did so in a very dignified manner.
