Penang Malaysia Visit

Malaysia is one of the top destinations of many tourists in Asia.Multiculturalism has not only made this country a gastronomical paradise,it has also made Malaysia home to hundreds of exciting and colourful festivals. Malaysia is as diverse and unique as its culture.This progressive country is divided into 13 states and 3 federal territories. Extreme contrast is one of Malaysia's key attractions.


Tourism has become Malaysia's 3rd largest source of income from foreign exchange and accounted for 7 % of its economy as of 2005.Last year,Malaysia ranks 9th among the top most visited countries in the world,after Germany. 

Part of my Asian Cruise was a one day tour in Malaysia,particularly in Penang. Penang is a state of Malaysia,located on the northwest coast of Peninsular Malaysia by the Strait of Malacca. This state is the second smallest state after Perlis. Penang is one of the most developed and economically important states.

A resident of Penang is known as Penangite.This place has so many things to offer.One of these is SHOPPING.

As the biggest shopping destination in Northern Malaysia,Penang has many huge shopping malls and department stores.Among the biggest are Queensbay Mall, Penang Plaza and Prangin Mall

I saw this big slipper in Queens Bay Mall.So BIG!

 As a traveler,my simple tip is always get a map or search important information tru internet before your trip.It helps you to get familiar in the place you're going to visit. Also, don't afraid to ask if you need some information. Here in Penang Malaysia,people are friendly and hospitable.

I saw this store in QueensBay Mall  offering processed and dried fruits,vegetables and other items. Philippine Dried Mango is available here.But a little bit expensive.100 gm for 7.99 RM or 106 pesos.You can buy this in Philippines for only 40 to 50 pesos per 100 gms.Philippine Mango is one of the best

Penang Malaysia is a good place to visit! Modernization and urbanization in this place is fast!
