The buildings in Georgetown are mostly like this; the sidewalks are in the narrow archways, and there are open gutters/aquaducts in the streets, so most of the time we were walking in the road!
I know this is the most horrific expression one could think of while eating, but this food was out of this world!
The upstairs main hall. Talk about beautiful and romantic!
Scottish spiral staircases in the mansion
Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion, the walls are washed with real indigo!
Dim Sum- I think this is the happiest I have ever seen Todd!
Doors to a Chinese Temple.What can we say about this city? It is so charming! It is crazy and busy and so diverse... Chinese, Malay, Indian, and various other cultures all swarming in this port city. We were able to walk around and enjoy the sites much more since the monsoon like rains stopped. We ate Indian food at least 2x per day (that naan! and tandoori!) and just enjoyed the sites. We stayed in the Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion, which was built in the 1890's by a Chinese trader who was incredibly weathly. The building was restored (if you have seen the movie Indochine, the town and the building was featured in it) and it was gorgeous. The people were incredibly friendly and we had a great time chatting it up with an Aussie who was travelling alone.
We also stumbled upon some incredible Dim Sum.. I thought Todd had died and gone to heaven. It was the oldest place in the city to have Dim Sum and it was incredible. Busy, chaotic, and delicious.
