Since posting yesterday's photo I've been poring over Google Maps of Kuala Lumpur trying to figure out where I took the photos. I recall I ate at the Station Hotel the night I was there and that I walked, so the put me somewhere in Chinatown.
I didn't have a KL agenda, I was just passing through. One night in a doss house then a bus to Singapore. KL back in 1989 was under construction and that's what the image below shows - a string of shop fronts, the last vestiges of a trading street like the one I shot in Penang, being torn down for modern edifices in concrete, steel and glass.
On the right we have St. Paul's Church located at 56 Macalister Road, Georgetown, Penang. This church traces its history back to 1886. It's an Chinese language Anglican denomination church. This building was erected in 1930. Across the street, ie. behind my viewpoint, is a Roman Catholic Church.
Somewhere near Pekan Teluk Bahang, I captured this image of a fisherman, working on his gear.
Here's another shot of the beach at Pekan Teluk Bahang, Penang, Malaysia. If you take a look at my other photo of Pekan Teluk Bahang, you can see these two boats behind the buoy flags of the boat in the foreground. It's no so obvious that it's raining in this image.
I still have vague memories of the day I took off to ride around the island. I took off in an anti-clockwise direction from Georgetown staying as much as possible to the coastal road through Tanjong Bungah (don't know what Tanjong means but Bungah means 'flowers') and Batu Feringgi (which translates as 'Foreigner's Rock') before pitching up an Pekan Teluk Bahang (Teluk Bahang means 'Bay of the Heat Wave', no idea what Pekan means or if google maps is even correct).
