Travel Geek Short: Documentary Georgetown

In the heart of Penang lies a recent but rich history of colonial British culture.

In this short documentary, I ride along with my Taiwanese friend, Jimmy, 20-year resident and owner of the Love Lane Inn, as he gives me a first class tour of the city and its history.  His lively description of the players from past to present in this part of town provides the backdrop of the history on this island town that not many visitors get to see.

As we ride through Georgetown, the state of Penang’s capital city, we visit residences-turned-colleges, a cryptic British cemetery and even an old Portuguese prison.
