Yesterday, on the eve of Chinese New Year, I took off on my motorbike and encircled historical Georgetown in Penang to see how everyone was decorating for the year. Here are a few of my photos.

I just love how Malaysians go all out to decorate for whatever celebration is going on. The CNY decor looks fabulous, as expected 🙂
