The history of Penang began in 1786, when Captain Francis Light struck a deal with the Sultan of Kedah. He acquired Pulau Pinang (Penang Island) from the Sultan on behalf of the East India Company, which in return promised Kedah protection against its powerful neighbours.
I had fun with a gang of friends on today Penang one day trip (June of 6th), walking around

Penang street arts there which contains a lot of creative paintings from those creative artist whom drew on the wall with different type of theme. Their artworks are so beautiful and cute!
