Chinese New Year Heritage Celebration, Penang

Assalamualaikum wbt

This celebration is a showcase for the richness of the living heritage in Penang. Actually I'm not really expected this kind of celebration because my main point was to go to rabbit's exhibition, but I'm really amazed when I found out there's a lot of event being organized there. Then I noticed that the highlighting theme of celebration is  7 different cultural aspects related to Hokkien, Canton, Teochew, Hainan, Hakka, Wushu, and also Malasysian cultures. Pretty awesome, I guess.

Although I don't understand a single word there, and what most of them were doing but I really enjoy watching all the event that they celebrate. These are some pictures taken while 'searching' for the rabbit's exhibition. They covered a wide area, so it's hard for the first timer like us to know what direction we should go. 

These are real bunny kid. 

After wandering around we finally arrived at the exhibition. 

These are guine pigs, not a rabbit!

It's time to go home and take a good rest (I'm all out of energy, can't wait to sleep)
