Things to avoid in George Town

In George Town, there are a lot of things to avoid. Firstly, avoid the areas around Jalan Alor and Jalan Ampang. These areas can be very chaotic and dangerous at night. Secondly, be careful when walking on the streets at night as there are gangs of young people who may try to mug you or steal from you. Finally, don't go out alone at night, especially if you're a woman. There have been cases of women being sexually assaulted in the streets of George Town.

What to pack for a Penang Trip

If you're planning a trip to Penang, one of the first things you'll need to do is pack your bags for sightseeing. Here are some tips for packing for your Penang trip:

-Pack light. Penang is a small island and there's not much to see outside of George Town. If you plan on doing any hiking or renting bikes, be sure to carry extra supplies with you.

-Bring sunscreen and hats. The bright sun can be tough to deal with in Penang. Bring a cooler with drinks and snacks, too - there's usually no shortage of places to grab a bite or drink on the island.

-Be prepared for mosquito bites. Although George Town is generally pretty safe, it can get buggy during summertime. Pack some insect repellent just in case!
