Penang Street ArtFor culture lovers and lenses

enthusiasts, the Penang Arts Street located at the heart of the city is a

must place to be explored. The best way to uncover its pleasure of

contemporary street murals is by venturing along Lebuh Armenian

and Jalan Penang by either walking or taking a trishaw ride. Cost free and relaxing, this place is one of

the top picks in Penang.

Dear Azmin, I would like you to join me visit the Penang Street Art in this coming October. It is located at the city centre and we can explore the place on foot or by taking a trishaw ride. Since we enjoy photo taking, I think the former would be more fun for us. Besides, everyone knows how much we love street arts so this place is a must visited place for street arts enthusiasts like us! Furthermore, there’ll also be an international murals exhibition at Jalan Penang. I’m sure you’ll like it, as it is free. It’d be lovely to have you join the trip. Hope to hear from you soon.Bye.

Yours truly,Eizham
