Yo~! Do you like heritage? Since Penang Georgetown and Melaka City have been nominated as World Heritage Site, both state government have put their hard work on the state tourism. Anyway, I am a Penangite here so if you got follow my blog you should know some heritage events that happened in here.

On 5th of December one of the NGOs (Non-Government Organization) was organized a little street festival at Armenian Heritage Enclave. The organization is Anak-anak Kota which is under Arts-ED. By the way with the cooperation from Penang Education Organization, Penang Rotary Club, Yap Temple and Khoo Kongsi this event had successfully held. Heritage Heboh!

Actually my workshop is called the Korek Khoo Clan Story which mean in simple language is discover the Khoo's Story. Although I am not Khoo I still interested in searching our chinese history earlier came to Penang. How they live here? How to survive for the wars and etc. It's a good project that I think it might improve my knowledges. We put our hard work on interviewing, discover, analyzing in the workshop.
