Lesson 4 My Trip to Penang
On the last day of our trip, we visited the Little Penang Street Market, a street market that is held on the last Sunday of each month.
It was one of the reasons why we decided to take this trip near the end of January.
The Little Penang Street Market is known as the best place to see local crafts, and it really was full of beautiful ethnic goods, including clothes, shoes, wood carvings, woven baskets, and much more.
The atmosphere was so lively and exciting that the entire event felt more like a small festival than a market.
My parents bought a small wooden sculpture of a monkey.
The seller explained that it was traditional artwork made by the Orang Asli, the inhabitants who have lived in Malaysia longer than anyone else.
After having lunch at a food stall, we left for the airport.
On our way home, I thought that Malaysia and Korea might have more in common than I had originally imagined.
Like Korea, Malaysia was occupied by other countries but overcame this tragic history to achieve economic and cultural development.
I was deeply impressed by how the Malaysians have embraced their diversity and how it has made their culture richer.
Korea is also becoming an increasingly diverse country.
The trip to Penang makes me wonder what Seoul will be like in the future.
