Assignment 3b- Digital Arts (A part of my experiences in Penang)

On the week we went to Penang, we went to the Suffolk House to experience the Digital Art and Culture Festival held there. It was amazing where various artists and musician work together to make the installation work. They mostly adapt the history and culture in Penang. One of it was on Dragon dance and another was on History of the Suffolk House itself. Many others were also included there.

Unfortunely, we did not have the chance to go for the workshops. It is a pity though. We had limited time to join the workshops.

It was my first time going to Penang and I did not know much about the place. Most of us also never went to Penang and around two to three people are from Penang. It was not an organised trip though. 

However, I appreciate the chance to visit museums, temples and the streets of Penang. It still preserves their old culture. I am satisfied by one thing which is the Jetty (a small village built on water) eventhough they improve it where you can see the astro antenna on top of the houses in the photo above. The only reason I hope for in Penang was the sea actually.

I was amazed by the site there. The breeze was very pleasant despite the hot day.

Another thing about Penang I was interested in is the food there. Penang is popular for its hawker food like Hokkien Mee, Nasi Kandar and Char Kuey Teow. There are also many more food there but still we cannot try them all. Another place is the Khoo Kongsi, a large clan temple in Penang with their amazing architecture.
