I ride my little bike around George Town, Penang. I feel a little nostagia, remembering the peaceful scenery of Hoi An. The old houses, the mossy walls, the simple smiles make me flutter. And the journey to hunt "pokemon" street arts begins.

The highlight of George Town is that the street arts have become a specialty that any tourists who comes here must taste a few or all. I see the journey to find all these street arts is like a pokemon game, because they do not crawl in a street lined up for us to see, but they will hide in different places. Although it is possible to use a map, I like to kick around in my cute bike, to suddenly catch a super cute wall paintings with a unique meanings.




After engrossing in catching these street arts, I crave a little bit of sea. Well George Town is located on Penang, a Malaysian island, in the middle of the sea, so I really want to be immersed in the salt water. But pedal forever pedal, just a long line of tall buildings together with green trees. I have to kicked back in the rain suddenly poured down like my sad heart. But in the afternoon, I am lucky to find a small harbor to see the boats in the ocean, watching the waves whispering, make my heart calm down.

I return the bicycle quite late to the shop, after eating an Indian dish. I took the bus back to the airport, I was a bit scared because the bus has to take around the island to the airport and I was afraid of being late for the flight. I wait for my flight to take me transiting in Singapore, before returning to our lovely Vietnam.
