On the 2nd day in Penang. After breakfast, our friends took us to Ayer Itam. No, not for assam laksa as we were still full from our breakfast. We got down from the car to take a walk.
We passed by this durian stall.
On we walked and I saw this familiar man and his muah chee stall. We bought muah chee from him when we were here in 2017. That is 5 years ago.
I love muah chee so I have to buy a small pack for us to share.
This wall mural is on the opposite side. I crossed the road to take this snapshot.

On our drive out from Ayer Itam, we came to the war memoral park near the roundabout.
These structures are on our left side and the following snapshots were taken from a moving car.
World Peace Memorial with a flock of doves in flight.
The Overseas Chinese Anti-War Memorial Park.
Ayer Itam War Memorial.
These photos were taken from a moving car.
This memorial park (2011) is a memorial to the Chinese people of Penang who died under the Japanese Occupation in World War II.
Soldiers and their army truck.
This sculpture was made using fiberglass with bronze effect finishing.
Linking to Monday Mural.
Take your share of suffering as a good soldier of Jesus Christ,
just as I do; and as Christ's soldier, do not let yourself
become tied up in worldly affairs,
for then you cannot satisfy the one who has enlisted you in his army.
(2 Timothy 2:3-4, The Living Bible-TLB)

ReplyDeleteThank you, Valerie. Have a happy day and week.
DeleteWowwwww!!! Such beauties, the durians. They look big!
ReplyDeleteI think those are branded durians.
DeleteThe muah chee looks very appetizing!
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed by the exhibits in the Memorial Park! They say the japanese weren't less cruel than the germans during the war, yet they didn't apologize or paid compensations for their deeds.
I have heard of many terrible real life stories of suffering at the hands of the Japs.
DeleteNiezwykły pomnik , piękny mural . Udanego tygodnia:)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lucyna.
DeleteThat's a fabulous mural, and the sculptures are out of this world. Nicely captured, Nancy.

War is something we all can do without. Have a wonderful week.
DeleteThat much cheese looks good though I don't know what it is. I love that statue of the truck. MUA CHEE NOT MUCH CHEESE! LOL. Gigi hawaii
ReplyDeleteThank you, Gigi. Muah chee is steamed glutinous rice paste and rolled in crushed peanuts and sugar.
DeleteLooks like it was a nice visit.
