This is exactly the first phrase quoted from UNESCO World Heritage website! I guess it is time to make a little contribution for my country and our beloved Pearl of Orient - Penang. Partly proud to announce that I live in an island which is listed under UNESCO's World Heritage Sites as inscribed on 7 July 2008. Know what surprised me next, my alma mater is also covered under the core area of George Town Cultural Heritage site! Secondly, I am truly glad with the respective parties that involve in the activities and celebration of George Town as World Heritage Site for tonight and this weekend! Events lined up for all of us includes open house at Chew Clan Jetty, several traditional/cultural performances like Hokkien Puppet Show, Lighted Thaipusam Chariot, Peranakan Heritage exhibition and Little Penang Street Market.
No doubt Penang in general or George Town still has plenty of rooms for improvement, let us take a rest for this weekend. A stroll along the streets in the heart of George Town will definitely bring us beautiful memories of the life and living from the past. Do enjoy and have fun! And don't forget to catch the fireworks too!
Let's toast for George Town!!! Check out the detail itinerary here.
