Went across the Penang bridge to go to a temple last week and took some photos from one of the new temple buildings:

Jean, usually between 27-32 degrees Celsius. Lowest during the rainy monsoon would be around 24 or 25. Hottest up to 35. Normally it is bright and humid all year round, apart from a short dry period around April-May. But due to the recent La Nina occurrence which flooded many parts of South East Asia, we are getting earlier end-of-the-year rains than usual..

This is buildiversity!!!!

Thanks, Thanasis. The integration of 'old' and 'new' cultures is one of the things I love most about my country.

The last time I was in Penang was in 1996, there are a lot of new high rise buildings, but otherwise it is still just as beautiful. Only there for one night, did a day of sight seeing then on to KL. I hope to be back for another visit some day. Thanks for the pictures.
