See some photos taken at the Chap Goh Meh Cultural Show during Chinese New Year. Penang People "Lang" always in for a bit of fun.
Penang Chinatown, near Pitt Street where the fun was about to begin. Get your Penang travel information about what Penang sightseeing you can get to see during January and February beside the above Penang Festival. For this evening, the crowd was massive.
Seems the whole Penang Chinese has come out to have fun as there are hardly any place to walk. We have visitors, locals and international students bought by Professor Syed Zahari, a long time friend of Chandra. Get a Penang Map to begin your Georgetown Penang Island tour.
We heard, it was announced at least 10,000 were in Pitt Street enjoying the few events organized by the State of Penang and Chinese Chamber of Commerce.

It was a night to remember for many seeing our lovely festivities when Nyonya Ladies came out to sing their Old Malay songs. Seldom we get to hear these songs anymore so it was a treat for me. The Tua Pek Kong procession when I got
the lucky oranges from him was another delightful moment.
These are some of the Penang Heritage that is in dire need to be preserved. Most of the traditional cultures is what makes Penang into a heritage city recently.
The Chap Goh Meh cultural show photos is certainly a treat.
I part this year festival with a Nyonya saying.
Tim leng geng Throw dragon eyes Ho boey keng A good life follows |
In Summary, May we have a happy good life in the days to come. I wish you enough.
