Going to Penang for the May Day holiday? Here's your Southeast Asian slow-living guide.

#georgetowntrip On the northwest coast of Malaysia, there’s a little city stamped with UNESCO’s “World Cultural Heritage” label — George Town. This is the beating heart of Penang Island, and also an open-air art museum. With its timeworn shophouses, fragrant night markets, cheeky iron street art, and centuries-old temples tucked around every corner… East meets West here in the most unexpected ways, and the buzz of local life mixes effortlessly with artsy vibes. #travel
