Penang, being a Chinese dominant state, is very well dolled up for this year's Chinese New Year. We've taken pictures around town a couple of weeks before CNY and every where was already festively decorated. We actually spent the first day of CNY at Lost World of Tambun, our third visit in 8 months!
Our visit to Kok Lok Si temple will be much later to thin the crowds. The temple evening lights are a sight to behold every Chinese New Year. More of that after our visit.

| Sarah, with matching puppy eyes, asked if we can take the kid back home. I said the kid will miss its mama goat so it has to stay, then she said ok. |
