Fort Cornwallis & Penang Architecture

We took cab from Buddha Temple to Fort Cornwallis.

Reason : Paul can’t afford to walk

Fort Cornwallis

Meet my boyfriend in the previous life, Captain Francis Light.

Captain Francis Light – He’s actually the founder of the British colony of Penang in 1786. The Fort was built initially with nibong (palm trunk) stockade with no permanent structures, covering an area of 417.6 sq. ft. And it was only during Colonel R.T. Farquhar’s term as Governor of Penang in 1804 that the fort was rebuilt with bricks and stones by convict labor dispatched from India.

The construction of Fort Cornwallis was completed in 1810 during Norman Macalister’s term as the Governor of Penang with the cost of about 80,000 Spanish Dollars.

Is it he or she?

Nevermind….i just want to hug

This’s one of the traditional game call “Congkak”. I wanted to teach Paul how to play this game but somehow, i got confuse. Not my fault…..it’s been a long time i don’t play Congkak

After we finish explore Fort Cornwallis, we walk around to see what’s nice in Penang.

I think we lost in Little India. I just guessing because there’s so much indian shops around.
