"Little India", George Town, Penang, Malaysia

Malaysia is a country that consists of 13 states and 3 federal territories. Penang is one of these states and that is where I am now … more precisely in Georgetown, the capital of Penang.
The inner city of George Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Sandwiched between Beach Street and Masjid Kapitan Keling (Pitt Street) and between China Street and Chulia Street is grid of small shops and restaurants fondly known as "Little India".
There is a colorful bazaar like atmosphere with the sound of Indian music and smell of spices and curry. You can get DVD of Indian movies and CD of Indian music. There are also many jewelry shops and money changers to choose from.
Mmmm … smells good, I like the exotic atmosphere here …
