Penang Streets 3
2008.10.04
The pineapple is a very popular offering the Chinese, particularly the Hokkien give to the heavenly gods. The word pineapple to the Hokkien is called "Ong Lai" loosely translated to, "welcome to prosperity".
|
Since Penang is an island, the more popular mode of transportation and a rather affordable one is the scooter... although since the bridge was constructed many years ago, cars now outnumber these 2 wheeled contraptions.
|
The orange colour was just so striking that gloomy morning...
|
Common sight in Penang.... not sure if these squatters are legal or not now, I guess they are now, not sure.
|
Everything in Penang goes under chain and lock, especially homes. Grills on windows are also common... for good reason, to avoid theft and burglary.

A stamp I picked up off the floor.... I don't think you can send anything nowadays with a 20 cent stamp.
|
Boy do I feel like that this morning!

The trishaw man on his daily rounds despite the bad weather.

Nothing like a quick ciggy on a rainy day!

Another wet morning, however us photo crazy folks still braved the weather & got drenched along the way...
