I know Im asking the wrong place but does any of you know a tool to log back into an instagram account..? I stupidly forgot my password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me
@Emmitt Sutton i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Young Penangite here, I'm very happy i found this nice video here are some places I recommend not shown in this video : Glass House which is located on a hill it's a great rest stop for hikers and cyclists alike Entopia is a very nice zoo/park styled place, from bugs to crabs, fish and more! Queensbay Mall, Gurney Plaza and Penag Times Square are good malls for casual shopping Komtar tower and the mall's top floor below it are very fun and i highly recommend Escape theme park is also cool and there are probably even more things i didnt mention!
Hiiiii. Gam-siah, terima kasih for your great tipps. I will try to include these the next time. So much more to see in Penang! I shall be back some day!
Hiii. Thanks a lot! Happy to hear you are going again to Penang. I am wondering, whether you will feel that it changed a lot or not. Best regards from Switzerland to Australia!
I used to visit Penang often and stayed at Batu Ferringhi Beach. I have not been there for a long time. Your video suggests that Penang has changed a great deal, and it is time to visit again. Thank you.
Hi @Mermaid. Thats great to hear. I am very happy that you liked my video! Hopefully you will have a great trip! If you have any questions you can direct message me on Instagram @DjemoGraphic
I liked Penang when I went there a while ago although not as much as I love Langkawi but it is always worth coming here for the amazing temples, mosques and the diverse culture. Penang is mainly Chinese dominated area of Malaysia.
Hi. Yeah thats true. Penang has amazing temples and diverse culture. I would say Penang has the most visible Chinese culture of all places in Malaysia. I have not been to Langkawi yet, but I might consider going there in the future. I normally went to East Malaysia for beaches and natural sites. Have you been there? And if so, how different is Borneo from Langkawi?
@@DjemoGraphic Penang definitely has the more visible Chinese culture in Malaysia as well as Indian culture. The temples are a MUST SEE in Penang, no doubt about that. The best beaches in Malaysia are Redang Island and Perhentian Islands off the NE coast of Malaysia and really good for snorkelling and for total relaxation. I've never been to the Borneo end of Malaysia but I heard it is good so I can't compare that with Langkawi. However, Langkawi offers a few things for budget travellers like good beaches, natural beauty, limestone cliffs, Island Hopping Tours, Mangroves Tours, 3 different waterfalls and obviously the sky cab/bridge and plenty of night markets to sample some good food - you can hire a car for reasonable rate to go around the island - it is less lively than Penang though which is what I prefer (and less in terms of diverse culture). In terms of diverse culture and party life, Penang wins. In terms of natural beauty + beaches + less pollution, Langkawi wins. Penang has some natural beauty but personally think Langkawi is better in that area
@@brothersman524 Thanks for your brief answer :) Although I have never been, I also would say that Redang and Perhentian Island have the most beautiful beaches in peninsular Malaysia. Borneo is VERY beautiful and I can highly recommend to go for a visit! I published 2 videos about Sabah, which may give you some insight "Murug Turug Waterfall" and "Wonderful Sabah East Malaysia - Heaven on Earth".
@@DjemoGraphic I've been to both Redang and Perhentian Islands - they are amazing, better beaches than Langkawi and Penang. I have heard of Sabah which I know it is in Borneo and it was on my bucket list to go there. All these places or islands are good for different things: Penang for its diverse cultures, Redang and Perhentian for its beaches and snorkelling, Langkawi for its natural beauty and cable car/sky bridge. So I guess I need to go to Sabah and you need to go to Langkawi - that's a done deal!!
Hi Lee-Yang Happy to hear that you like my video. I hope you will have a great time. If you have any questions, feel free to DM me in IG. Im glad to help. I actually may go there again next month for a quick weekend trip too :)
Hi Nora. Thank you very much - I am glad you liked it and moreover thank you for the subscription :) Welcome to my channel! There is also a nice indian temple in Georgetown - Sri Mahariaman temple (where i was not allowed to film - its very nice also!)
Hello, first of all thank you for sharing high quality content. You already have one more subscriber. I am going to Malaysia in August and the initial idea is to stay 4 full days there. After watching your video I think I will be able to see everything you have suggested. Do you think that is enough time?
Hi Malak. Thank you so much! Welcome to my channel DjemoGraphic! I post videos every week. Usually on Fridays and Sundays. Yes, definitely that should be more than enough time! I only had 2 days and I was even filming all this. I hope you will enjoy. I was not allowed to enter the mosques, maybe you can do that if that interests you. There are also Hindu temples at which filming was not allowed. Otherwise, there is also the Penang Nationalpark and Kampung Balik Pulau. Another big chinese temple is at Butterworth. Definitely try to have the food of Penang. It's outstanding.
@@DjemoGraphic Great! I'm looking forward to going .... Thanks so much for the quick reply, I saw you have more videos from Malaysia and Singapore then I will check them out.
Fantastic Video,,,, We are heading to Penang in 2 weeks (Sept) and your video has given us some great ideas of where to go,,, very much looking forward to our trip,,, thanks again
Hi Bryon. Thats great to hear! Thank you for liking my video. I hope you will have a great vacation in Penang. How many days will you stay there? By the way, if you need more tips you can direct message me on Instagram. The account name is the same as for my RU-vid.
Thanks DjemoGraphic,,, we are Staying at Hard Rock Hotel,, 5 days,,, unfortunately I don't do Instagram,, but thankyou for the offer,, I will keep in touch and let you know how it all goes,, cheers,, Bryon
@@bryonedwards6071 Hard Rock Hotel. Thats a good location. At Batu Ferringhi beach. I hope you will enjoy there. It takes about 30min to Georgetown; book Grab, these taxis are the cheapest usually :)
@@bryonedwards6071 I am looking forward to hear from you. I am most happy to help you! I think you may want to consider Monkey beach and the National Park since you stay for 5 days. I have never been to Butterworth, but maybe it could be interesting too (its not on the Island of Penang but within the state of Penang).
You captured the best of Penang well in your video. I have been there a few times and always love to come back for the relaxed atmosphere and the fantastic food of course. You honourably mentioned the National Park, which in my view belongs to the top 10 attractions of Penang. You can take a bus from Georgetown to get there and there are many hiking paths in the park/jungle, even some long ones suitable for multi-day hikes.
Hi Thomas. Thank you very much for your comment. I agree about the National Park! I had to do this move, because it did not fit into my schedule to film the National Park in only 2 days. I also wanted to include a Hindu Temple but sadly they did not allow filming.
I lived in Penang for 5 yrs. A unique experience. Good video, but mostly centered around the Chinese culture in Penang, 1 of 3; omitting the Indian and Muslim influence. Looks like it was done around the time of Chinese New Year. Any videos on the many festivals and celebrations in Penang? Overall, very enjoyable, 👍!
Hi Gazelle. Thank you very much for your nice comment, feedback and subscribe. Yes, I went during Chinese New Year. I uploaded a video about CNY just 2 weeks ago. I actually intended to include the Sri Mahariamman temple in Georgetown for number 10 but while editing the sequences I realized filming was not allowed. My indian friends advised me to not publish the footage to respect the rules. Such ristrictions I did not find at chinese temples. That's why the video may seem quite chinese based
Welcome everyone to my home state, Penang. This is Vincent, a true blue Penangite, born and bred here. To fully discover the many places, tourists may have to spend at least a fortnight wandering around. There’s Entopia, ESCAPE theme park for the adventurous with the world longest tube water slide, penang hill Habitat, Karuna hill resort and many more amazing places of interest that have not made the debut in this video but worth discovering. Anyway, this video is beautifully produced as in other Swiss videos. Bravo!
Hi Vincent! Thanks a lot for your comment on my Penang Video. I agree, there is a lot more to discover in Penang and what I have seen are maybe the most essential places but not all that belong to the very best :) I am glad to see that you gave me some suggestions, which I would love to take into consideration :) Gam-siah!
Hi Sarah Jane. Thank you very much! Yes, it was an unfortunate mistake from my friend who translated long as snake but he wanted to say dragon. My apology for the mistake. Happy that you liked the video. In my other videos including dragon dance I already have named it correctly🤗🐉
Suggestion = slow down and show some shots longer. It seems to jump too quickly from one scene to another. Especially shots of the temples and restaurants where there’s some signs that are interesting to read
Hi James. Thanks for your critical feedback. It's always good to receive some constructive criticism that helps me to improve my video quality. This video is now almost 4 years old. I did have quite a faster pacing back in 2019, my newer videos are a bit slower paced. I am curious to hear what you think of my recent videos.
I see from your video, Penang has beautiful traditional culture. So many wonderful places to visit. But... snake temple is not for me 🙈 Scary... Thanks a lot, Djemo, for presenting this amazing video. Happy happy traveling! Btw, did you stay at blue mansion?
Hi Dina. Thank you. Indeed, Penang is very cultural :) The Snakes are actually harmless, because they are asleep all day and not poisonous at all :) I did not stay at the blue mansion. I stayed at a cheap hotel instead :) But maybe one day, I will stay at the Blue Mansion^^
Hi Alberto. Weather-wise July should be fine. It's just that the entire western world has holidays then. Whether that is much impacting Penang I am not sure. Usually there are a lot of tourists from China.
my great grandpa's house still stands in king street, penang. i have quite a large number of relatives residing in penang. so, i have visited penang numerous times but no way i am going to live here. i prefer my hometown; batu gajah. i don't like condos and apartments and the hectic life in penang. i love the countryside and my house is right in the village.
Hi Kim. Thank you for your nice comments. That's really nice, well Penang is so beautiful. Batu Gajah is a place I will check out. For sure, I am going again to Penang some day :)
Hi Fernando. Thanks a lot for your comment and compliment to my video. I hope it is useful to your planning of the trip in Penang. If you have any questions, feel free to DM me on Instagram @DjemoGraphic. I have been many, many times to Malaysia (Peninsula and Borneo site)
Hi Richard. I know about the dragon dance. My friend did a wrong translation. My bad about this. Having lived 5 years in Singapore i know the other dance is called lion dance and i named it correctly. The blue mansion tour guide she said the mansion used to be the embassy of the chinese empire for some time.
Thank you so much Farell. I am very happy to hear that from a great RU-vidr like you :) Malaysians have many good reasons to be proud of Penang. Heritage, culture, festivals, top 10 world foodie place, IT hub etc...
Lol I feel bad 4 malaysia, they're always being dominated by foreign cultures. From hindus to muslims to Europeans they can't seem 2 catch a break😆. One of the few nations that don't have their own culture sadly😔🙏
KEK LOK Si TEMPLE in the 80's, 90's was named the temple of a thousand rip offs but over the years it has changed for the better and is nothing what it once was best change Penang made.
That's interesting. I have been to other temples in the world, where I have experienced such practises; luckily my drivers warned me about that. Having returned to some of the places, I saw these practises have been mostly discontinued. My first visit to the Kek Lok Si Temple was in 2013, that time there were already no scams.
may i know, if there is any Penangian here. Is there a high traffic that would reach 1 hour from gorge town to bukit mertajam during peak hour eg 7am in the morning?
Thanks John. I am happy to hear that. Well, I actually live in Singapore, so I got quite exposed to the culture of chinese, peranakan, malay and indian people.
@@Tom-cf5lk Yes. Malaysia is larger and has two sides. I have been countless times to Malaysia already hehe - especially Sabah I have traveled often. Will go there again soon. Btw, I uploaded also other videos about Malaysia, maybe you can take a look at them :)
Hi Gerald. I know... my bad, my friend in 2019 made a wrong translation for me. I have no longer named it snake dance since then. I hope regardless of this you could enjoy the video.
Hi. Nice! I miss Penang! I love the food there and the culture. In particular all the festivals like CNY, Jade Emperor God Festival and Nine Emperor Gods Festival. The latter I would love to come to see. I guess the main festivities for that one will be in Butterworth.
Hi Dan. I am glad that you could find a few new places in my video. I hope you can visit some of them. I hope you will have a great time with your dad in Penang. Also consider a visit to Melaka and Ipoh, these places have some similarities with Penang. I probably go again to Penang soon too. There is a lot more I did not manage to visit.
Hi Love CJ. Im glad you watched and liked my video. 5 Days is definitely enough to travel around :-) I think there are more museums (than the 2 I presented) you may want to checkout. One of them is the upside down museum. Then, definitely go to the national park, its quite beautiful. The beach there I heard is nice. Just make sure you always put mosquito repellent. If you have any questions feel free to DM me on Instagram (DjemoGraphic). Best regards Djemo

Hi Maretha. Thank you very much for your kind words :) I am growing faster recently, especially since I published this video. I am confident with a lot of patience and hard work to produce new videos the growth rate will increase.
Hi. Yeah I know. I corrected the mistake for my Penang CNY Video, which I uploaded early this year. There, I named Dragon dance correctly. Though in this video here I named Lion dance as lion dance ;) Are you from Malaysia?
Hi Dominic. I am indeed Swiss hehe. Freut mi, dass der mis Video gfallt. Ich chume übrigens usem Kanton Schaffhuuse, de Dialekt vo wo ich bin isch allerdings so was zwüsched Züridütsch und Schaffhuuserdialekt :)

Hi. No, of course Penang is not only about chinese temples. I actually went to visit Indian temples e.g. to the Sri Mahamariamman temple in the little India section for filming, but unfortunately that was not allowed, which is the reason why I could not include those I visited. I quite regretted the film ban, but I did not want to be disprespectful. Upon my next visit I hope there will be any Hindu temple that I can visit that does not impose any film bans. I hope this answers your question.
I'm flying to Penang tomorrow, your video has had some influence on what I'll check out there. One thing though: you said you found the Thai temple there unique because of the long dragons leading to the entrance... I've seen this at several Thai temples... Wat Bang Phil Yai Nai in Samut Prakan and the Wat Tham Sua in Kanchaniburi come to mind...
Hi. I hope you had a great trip to Penang. What you said about Thai temples is correct. I actually was referring the uniqueness of the dragons because of their glitter. I am not sure how common glittery dragons are overthere; possibly you know that better than me ;-)
Very very good video, we were just in penang for six days . Two we spent in the Blue Mansion and the rest in Armenian street . Your video brought back very positive memories of Penang . Thanks
@@DjemoGraphicThanks for the reply. When I was a young man I worked in Interlaken, Arosa and Zermatt. That was fifty years ago. I recognize the red cross on your T shirt . Canada is my home .
@@rascalhusky8129 Oh that's very nice to hear. Hope you had a good time in Switzerland! And Canada is very beautiful, but unfortunately I have yet by far not seen enough.

Hi.. Are there any good vegan or vegetarian (no meat no egg) options in Penang. I know Indian food has veg options, but I want to try more of Malaysian local cuisine. Plz do assist.
@@littleprincesshezal8905 Vegan may be difficult, because its considered still very exotic in south east asia. But there are also chinese restaurants that serve mocked meat (mostly imitated with soy). I think you can find such stalls in food courts. Then If you check the place in my video at #6 at the beach. The restaurant I showed is vegetarian (it is though more for brunch). I think nowadays even in a foodie place like Penang vegetarian options are more likely available (especially in georgetown). Maybe if you check the dining options on tripadvisor that can be very helpful. I hope I could help you
Hi Anthony. Thanks a lot for your nice comment. I hope you will have a great trip to Melaka and Penang. I made a separate video about Melaka; I hope it will be useful :)
DjemoGraphic ... yes I call Malaysia Embassy in Manila yesterday- not good news Can’t even get home to Australia ( even thou I don’t want to ) enjoy travel Might try another Asian country first ... then Malaysia 🇲🇾 As need to leave the Philippines 🇵🇭 because of visa expired Thanks info ... stay safe
Hi Kris. You are quite right with your comment, but this is the result of a few circumstances. I actually did film in Hindu temples. However, during video editing I realized, filming was not allowed, when I noticed the signs. This was for example the case at the Sri Mahamariamman temple in Georgetown. Because of this, I included the goddess of mercy temple instead. I did not want to be offensive towards the Hindu community, as apparently filming of the deities inside the shrine is according to my friends advice not well accepted. Very sorry about it.
Thanks a lot for your comment and compliment! Where did I mention the 30 MYR again? I think I mentioned 30 minutes of a Grab drive to the Beaches :) Most drives were about 6-9 MYR that I took. The long ones around 15-20
Hi , I like the temples they are amazing and also the beaches and the floating mosque I’m going to penang next month , very happy for this trip Thank you so much for this video 🥰😄
DjemoGraphic You’re welcome I went to penang last few weeks and it was really good i love it so much you feel like you’re in china 🇨🇳 I visited tropical fruit farm, batu frringhi beach , the floating mosque, penang hill , kek lok si tample , chew jetty , peranakan mansion , snake temple, street art, we stayed there just 5 days and then we visited langkawi I really felt in Love with malaysia 🇲🇾 Thank you so much 😊
I am travelling to Penang in a few weeks and I am looking at places to stay at the moment. Would you mind telling me where you stayed while you were there? I want to stay somewhere that is easy to access the different areas.
Hi Charlotte. I stayed at the Tune Hotel. Was cheap and convenient to go around. I mostly used GRAB to reach the places I visited. Within Georgetown old city you can just walk around ;)
Hi Zyo. Penang has a very rich heritage of chinese culture, of which temples are part of. Furthermore, myself, I love to visit temples/worship places in general. Out of these Top 10 places, 6 were not temples, but beaches, town, museums etc. What places would you recommend me to visit for my next trip to Penang?
Hi. Among these top 10 places, 3 were Chinese temples, 1 was Thai and 1 Burmese (not Chinese). Filming inside Hindu Temples was NOT allowed, neither was I allowed to enter the mosques; so this why religious sites are mainly about Taoism and Buddhism. Second, Penang is a majority chinese ethnic state of Malaysia and much of its major heritage is Chinese and Peranakan. Third, in the short time I was in Penang, I was not able to visit the National Park or Kpg Balik Pulau. And last, 6 out of 10 places were not temples ;-)
So pleasing to see the Blue Mansion in it's completely renovated glory. When I lived there in the early 90's it was being restored. It was fascinating to watch it's progress! Truly a great Penang success! Fond memories!
Hi Marcia. Happy to hear that. I got to visit the Blue mansion 2x, it was very impressive and I also had a great time there. The last time I went for a drink which was a great decision to enjoy this place without all the people :)
Hi Brandon. I have not seen much during my 2 days trip in Sarawak in 2013, but I definitely have seen enough to say that these two cities are VERY different. Penang has a very strong chinese influence and long history; cities in peninsular Malaysia that I would say are comparable would be Melaka and Ipoh. Kuching is on Borneo and the ethnic composition of that side of Malaysia is totally different from the west. In Kuching there are a lot of Iban and other Borneo native people, which still have a lot of tribal culture. That remains very visible up to today, which is something you wont find in West Malaysia. Kuching has a small chinatown (or chinese street), which has similar houses as in Penang. But there is not much street art as you would find it in Georgetown. A city that has some similarity to Kuching is Kota Kinabalu, but there is no river.
Nicely sum up. Glad its all attractions instead of street food. Would be nice to add in a few Churches and Hindu temples. Do add a few hiking/walks at botanical gardens, moon gate to Penang hill hike, pantai kerachut/mukahead hike and dam to balik pulau hike. There are also quite a few activities at teluk bahang. I'll leave that for you to explore.... have a great one... 😁
I was filming at Hindu temples, but I realized later during editing the "no filming" signs, so I did not want to be offensive and instead replaced the Sri Mahamariamman temple in georgetown as #10 with the Goddess of Mercy temple. The churches I may include on another video, thanks for reminding me about it. Also the other suggestions you gave me I will take a closer look at them. Thanks a lot.
Hi XeeShan. Penang has a very rich heritage of chinese culture, of which temples are part of. Furthermore, myself, I love to visit temples/worship places in general. Out of these Top 10 places, 6 were not temples, but beaches, town, museums etc. What places would you recommend me to visit for my next trip to Penang?
Hi Stevany - That would require another trip - but one of my next videos will be about Chinese New Year in Penang :) Regarding food: Try Asam Laksa and Nasi Kandar :) These are typical specialities from Penang.
Hi. Thank you for your feedback. Yes, I can recommend the tune hotel. I paid 260 Myr for 3 days, which was about 21 USD per night. Really good deal. The location is also quite fine
