George Town Malaysia, Peninsular Malaysia (West Coast)
Multicultural Malaysia: Georgetown brings together different people, beliefs, and atmospheres
Starting as a small Malaysian village and transforming into a bustling, diverse city, Georgetown brings together the perfect concoction of different food, people, and history. In 2008, Georgetown was awarded the status of a UNESCO World Heritage Site which, in turn, brought about a booming art scene and even more food for the foodies of the world. Just a quick hop, skip and jump off the West coast of Malaysia, the city of Georgetown is located on the island of Penang.
