Georgetown, Malaysia
July 21, 2017
With its old temples and clan houses, colonial buildings and quirky street art, Georgetown seduces easily. The thriving night market and buzzing bars lend their weight to busloads and boatloads of travelers and a couple of days stretch into multiple ones. This is one of those cities where history blends effortlessly into the new. Better yet, this feels real, unlike the carefully-preserved-under-a-glass-case museum-like feel of many other enclaves in other cities.
