Old Stores In Old Penang

Despite the rush to preserve Georgetown's Chinese shophouses and turn the place into an Asian South Beach or French Quarter, there are still plenty of regular businesses plying their trades. Here are some samples.

A fish store and a place to buy books and magazines. Don't miss the guy on the right at the book store. Keeping busy!



Rattan is big in Penang. Just don't ask the proprietor for a chat. The gas man selleth.



They recycle paper in shops, just like in India. The jug shop. Really? What could they possibly be doing?



A waaay old school barber shop. An engine repair shop. Messy the world over.
