Reflections on Malaysia 2026
We had such a great time in Georgetown, Penang Island in November and December of 2025, we decided to return for a short visit from February 17-27, 2026 to celebrate Chinese New Year.
The Chinese phrases in the image above with Rich reflect the Lunar New Year symbolism, especially tied to the Year of the Fire Horse theme (strength, momentum, prosperity). The translations are…
槟城庙会
Penang Temple Festival
马到福到庆佳节
With the arrival of the horse comes good fortune — celebrating the joyous festival.
骏马腾开盛世
The noble horse gallops forth, ushering in a prosperous era.
