My ancestors are from Chaozhou, China.<br /><br />Although my paternal grandmother is from Batu Pahat.<br /><br />I've been to Penang for work and pleasure. They have Sir Francis Light, we have Sir Stamford Raffles. We have many things in common.Singapore Man of Leisurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13774067113884418001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6897513886211197509.post-90194798996445246322012-02-24T09:59:44.092+08:002012-02-24T09:59:44.092+08:00Hi SMOL

Besides China (Xiamen, Chengdu), Penang is also on my watchlist ;)<br /><br />I am very comfortable in Penang and loved the way they have preserved Georgetown and their ancestral and clan houses.<br /><br />Joy and happiness to you too.Singapore Man of Leisurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13774067113884418001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6897513886211197509.post-85559429798248261032012-02-23T12:04:44.384+08:002012-02-23T12:04:44.384+08:00Hi SMOL
