Walking around and exploring alleys and colonial mansions in George Town, Penang, Malaysia

In this travel video we wake early to explore the inner city of UNESCO heritage George Town wandering around the alleys and colonial mansions of this city on Pulau Penang Island, Malaysia. We're greeted along the way by many friendly cats and dogs. As we wander around we notice many colonial mansions in various conditions - some crumbling while others have been nicely restored. We notice many locals going about their daily business. Overall, it was a great way to spend the morning after a long day of transportation getting from Kuala Lumpur to Penang by train.

George Town (less commonly also spelt Georgetown,[2]) is the capital of the state of Penang in Malaysia. Named after Britain's King George III, George Town is located on the north-east corner of Penang Island. The inner city has a population of 720,202 and the metropolitan area which consists of Penang Island, Seberang Prai, Sungai Petani and Kulim has a combined population of 2,251,042, making it the second largest metropolitan area in Malaysia.[3]
Formerly a municipality and then a city in its own right, since 1976 George Town has been part of the Municipality of Penang Island, though the area formerly governed by the City Council of George Town is still commonly referred to as a city. George Town is also known as Tanjung ("The Cape") in Malay, 乔治市 (Qiáozhì Shì) in Chinese and ஜோர்ஜ் டவுன் (Georgetown) in Tamil.
The inner city of George Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Besides enjoying excellent food, walking tours and sightseeing the beautiful old city, George Town itself does not offer that much to the adventurous tourist.

Georgetown is the capital of the island and state of Penang, on the west coast of peninsular Malaysia. It was listed by UNESCO in 2008 as a World Heritage Site, together with fellow former Straits Settlement, Melaka: http://wikitravel.org/en/Georgetown_(...)
