Fun at PPAC

The Penang Performing Arts Center (PPAC) ran a series of workshops. Here was a very fun acting class that we could not get the kids into because of scheduling issues and a very long wait list. We chose a hip-hop class instead.

Peranakan Mansion

We finally paid a visit to the Peranakan mansion featuring my mother's heritage.

I had to try out the chair...

Chinese Playing cards were different

"Don't peek my cards..."

Sitting in the toilet...

It's time for bed...

Head dress

Tapestry

Ornate roof

The family temple and altar adjacent.

Museums are not really our thing... so Ian and Aria were eager to move on but I was quite happy to have learned more about my mother's cultural background.
