Hallway between main building & annex 

It's almost time to leave, but just one last thing - see the annex.

A clash of style? No.....
It's more a blend of cultures; Chinese, Malay, Thai that gave birth to the Nyonya society in Penang.

The Nyonya Mansion is indeed one of the crowns of Penang - old, stately, grand and mysterious.

This visit has whetted my appetite, time to leave and yet it's time to explore other parts of the interesting Inner Core Zone of the UNESCO Heritage Site of George Town.
