Scenes Along Armenian Street And Burmah Road, Penang

After we checked out, we drove around town for a short while before we headed back to Ipoh.... It was a Sunday Star Walk in Penang on that particular day and certain areas were very jammed up. 

If not mistaken, this is around Little India area...
This area has lots of tourists and it is due to to the murals around here...
Slight drizzle so we didn't get down to take pictures...
Just managed to take one or two actually.....
Those with long queues, we skipped taking the pictures....
Most of the mural paintings are around here along Armenian Street
Just look at the cars and the people....
The cars got to look out for the pedestrians instead...
Outside Ming Xiang Tai Pastry...
One of the branches along Jalan Burmah... if not mistaken.. :)
This mural must be recent... still so clear and nice....

  2. Actually Star Walk or not, every weekend also more or less the same with the crowds. Weekends are no car day on Armenian Street so many people come out to lepak.

  9. Queue? No way. They should close the roads, at least during peak hours - since it is such a tourist attraction. I would just avoid those roads on my own accord. Honestly, I can;t understand why people would insist on driving through knowing it is going to be jam-packed. So crowded. Old man, cannot liao - plus the heat, my head will start spinning. So kotak one, me! :(

  15. Yah, very true, nowadays certain area the cars have to watch out the pedestrians, not them to watch out the car lo!!! So drivers like us must drive carefully while passing through that area!!

    1. I think the world is getting crazy now. The mural trends are in many countries including China. I wonder where it started from?
