]]> George Town is located in the Pulau Pinang region in Malasia. It’s famous for the work of the street artist Ernest Zacharevic. The walls of the town are flanked by captivating murals portraying a number of dreamlike images. These murals have captured the imagination of many a curious traveler. They use a number of different media to really bring the town to life. If you’re interested in experiencing this street art for yourself, here’s what you can find.

Children on a Bicycle

This is one of the most famous images in Penang. It portrays young siblings riding on a bicycle. While the two children are painted onto the wall as a two-dimensional image, the bicycle is a real three-dimensional object. This evokes the delightful and at the same time slightly eerie sense that there is a world of images living just on the other side of our own reality.

Reaching Boy

This image of a boy reaching from a chair continues the theme of alternative reality. We have the sense that there is another world unfolding just out of our sight. When you turn round to look at it, it freezes.

Swings

Here it feels like you can play with the phantom children. Release your inner child and bleed into the walls with them. Few towns in the world can offer this kind of experience.

]]> Malaysia is arguably one of the most underrated countries in Southeast Asia. Travelers often brag about their Thailand and Bali escapades but skip over the beautiful country of Malaysia. Here are six of the most picturesque spots in the country to help put Malaysia back on the map.

Petronas Towers, Kuala Lumpur

The Petronas Towers are a whopping 1,483 feet in height, making them rivals for the tallest building in the world. Capturing their full height on camera is hard but it makes for one hell of a picture if you succeed.

Batu Caves

The rainbow steps leading up to the temple at Batu Caves are one of the most Instagrammed spots in the whole of Malaysia.

Malacca

The old town of Malacca is charming and has a special feel. The narrow winding streets and old temples make for some great photo ops.

George Town, Penang

George Town is filled with incredible street art from Malaysia’s very own Banksy. It’s colorful, quirky and very Instagram-worthy.

Langkawi

Langkawi is an archipelago of 90 islands off the coast of Malaysia. The beaches are impressive and the Sky Bridge is spectacular.

Cameron Highlands

The Cameron Highlands is a wonderful hiking spot. The area is dense with lush greenery and it feels somewhere between a field and a jungle.
