Thank for bringing us on this awesome tour

Who knew that was there. Very interesting. Thank you;

Those look like bricks to me. Not likely that during those early early years people knew how to bake bricks.

Thank you, Ronald. It's always nice to walk these streets with you when we aren't there to walk them in person. Must be a lot of activities there today on Merdeka Day.

Many thanks once again, Ronald. An enthralling stroll through a delightful area. I really must try that food court next time I am in town .

One of my favorite streets. Thank you for walking it.

Great to see you back in action , Ronald. Another insightful view of Penang's back streets . Very enjoyable .

Yes, this area has many temples, clans, for a great temple tour. I walked Taiwan for 3 months, most attractive is their temple cultures, plus frequent festivities for tourist to take pictures. Besides Taiwan, other Chinese areas are either not culture-rich or neglected by governments. Singapore is quite poor cultural-wise, HK, too. KL has few. Penang has all reasons to compete.

Thank you, Ronald. I always enjoy your short walks.

Thank you, Ronald. I look forward to and really enjoy your Heritage Zone street tours.

Thank you, Ronald. Nice for a peaceful walk on a Sunday. I really enjoy your Georgetown walking tours.

Too many cars in Penang.

These British colonial buildings are actually quite small in sizes. The Baroque artistic not really elaborate. Not sure the reasons, maybe at that time building materials were hard to come by. Five foot way gokaki tried to copy the columns. The concept was very innovative, but also small in size.

Can be complicated in such dark place, filming with stabilization.

Very interesting

Empty

Compared to Taiwan’s 101, Petronas tower is much more functional. 101 has really nothing interesting around it. At most ~10 storeys Petronas has super foodcourt for common folks. Beautiful fountain lake like that of Vegas Bellagio. Walkable from BB. Free shuttle buses. 101 falungong cult harassing tourists.

Very nice. Thank you.

Thanks lived here in the sixties

This addition to Gurney Drive turned out to be truly special. The condos are spectacular. Question....where was everybody? You had the place to yourself. Thank you.

Thank you, Ronald, for showing us another special place.

Thank you, Ronald.

Excellent, Ronald. Thank you. It was fun walking down a street with you that I know and have walked many times. Memories.

Many thanks Ronald. That is an intriguing part of Penang . Some fascinating architecture on view . Quite a few people Recommended the Red House to me in years gone by. Sadly, I never tried the place . Just so much choice all around .

World Optics, my first eyeglasses. I am now in Taiwan, walking around watching the ‘five Foot way’ goh kaki. There was a study trying to link Straits Settlements five-foot-way to Taiwan. They are similar in many ways. The conclusion is Taiwan shophouses are much newer than Penang’s. Penang shophouses easily stand at 150 years. While Taiwan’s about 50.

Good video, Ronald. But I prefer Penang.

Another good video. Thank you.

Very nice. Like many, I am very grateful that Penang has retained its character. The only weak point I found was the football stadium !

I am now walking Taiwan places. Besides food, I try to search for historic clues as told by buildings. Penang’s shophouses just froze at pre-war, while Taiwan has transformed a couple of times now. Mostly the availability of concrete cement. Singapore transform from these brick/tile shop houses into flats. Concrete floors made it possible to go higher. Whereas Penang shophouse are mostly wood. Like with most all Malaysian cities and towns.

Ronald, thank you for doing these videos. I miss Penang and enjoy them very much.

I am now walking Kaohsiung, 2nd tier city like Penang. Population and economy, they are about same. Both came out off colonial rule after the war. Both have the same shophouses before the war. But, Kaohsiung took on to renewal process. Many buildings are newer, roads and infrastructure. Whereas Penang has been stagnant in past 60 years. No subway no good infrastructure. Buses are ok, but also going backwards. Not that progress is always good, but Penang people choose to be behind time, too much immersed in history cocoons.

Wonderful and educational, Ronald. The Toon Leong coffee shop seems inviting .

Very nice. Thank you.

That seems lika a calm part of Penang . I wouldn't mind a dai pai dong night out at the 7th street market .

社尾地區， it wraps around Prangin, I am lost in the area where freeway connects to Komtar. It’s too long to walk

I don’t quite understand the historical reason of naming it ‘Queens’. Why didn’t the Malays change the name after independence? Unless the Malays are also very colonial. Naming aside, the area is very new, almost like 50 years ago, except with high rises condos and sort. I think the night market is pretty big. Did not have the yearn to go out nighttime.

BAGAN

I faintly remember from childhood memory ‘新亞旅社‘， but cannot recall this street

Thank you, Ronald. Another good job! All the best to you and Penang this CNY.

Thanks again , Ronald. Very enjoyable stroll indeed . Kung Hei Fat Choi ! All the very best for the year of the dragon .

Another new street for me. Thank you, Ronald.

Next to Service Rd, lots of trees, quite neighborhood. Have lived there for a year or so.

Thanks Ronald . Another priceless window on lesser-known spots around Penang .

Just watched this again. Remains my favorite. Pitt St captures the essence of Georgetown and it's cultures.

Another reason why Penang is such an amazing place. 👍

Who knew this temple was there? Off the beaten path for sure. Thank you.

So it’s at the other end of Weld Quay Hai Kee. Never been there. The small statues are interesting

I never get tired of watching your videos of these Georgetown streets. You always interesting areas that remind me why I love Penang so much. Thank you, Ronald.

Well done !
