I was in George Town Penang in 2006 and left it a mere mortal of a city. I have returned to George Town in 2009 to a UNESCO World Heritage City.
I have enjoyed the city more on this second trip. The first time here I had read such good things about George Town that it didn’t really meet my expectations. Now on my second time here I have come without expectation and have found this city to be one of my favourites in Asia. Now that I have told you this I have loaded you with unfair expectation and you may thus arrive disappointed.
I came back to George Town to get the ferry to Medan in Sumatra. I try not to back track to cities I have been if I can go somewhere else. Sometimes though you end up passing through visited cities to get to new ones. I would be happy to come back to George Town again.
