Georgetown is located on the west coast of peninsular Malaysia. It is the capital city of the island and state of Penang. It is the second largest city in Malaysia and together with fellow former Straits Settlement, Malacca, was listed by UNESCO in 2008 as a 'World Heritage Site'. It has a history dating back to the beginnings of British colonialism in South-East Asia in the 18th. century, with its multi-cultural appeal reflected in its architecture, festivities and food.
I visited this island for 10 days, not only to work and write, but also to accompany my dearest in his therapy. We walked through the beaches every day, but also walked through the old streets of Georgetown, admiring its beautiful past coming to life again. Although I have visited this island many times, but this time I really see that the local government and the people of Penang have been working hard in getting this city to its present condition now.
