The Penang clan jetties

About two months ago when WW moved in, we went to see the jetties with my father. I had never gone there before...though it's quite famous (like I've never gone up Penang Hill *hides eyes*). Families of a same surname (of the same clan) will stay on the same jetty.

(and I have been meaning to write about this for ages but kept getting sidetracked :/ )

Let's do this with photos:

Chew jetty, the most famous and the first one we went to. Actually there were two jetties before it that we missed...Ong and...Lim, I think. (a guy on another jetty told us that) And we didn't want to go all the way back to see them...

Did you notice how scared we were of falling into the water? :P (hint: compare our position to the previous photo...)

somewhere in the middle of the jetty

The jetty's so long they even need signboards. :P

A temple with a tree inside...and coming out through the roof.

Next is Tan Jetty

with Thai food at the end

and a long path out (does this make anyone think of pirates? Walk the plank!)

there's even a birdhouse...

and a nice garden

Then Lee Jetty...my mother's :P (the signboard is too faded so I won't bother posting it here)

with a shorter plank

This is the mixed surname one...for all those who don't have their own. lol

it's shorter...

And last but not least, Yeoh Jetty! My jetty! lol
(all the jetties have a signboard like this one...but Yeoh Jetty doesn't have the other kind of signboard...not fair! lol)

And it happens to be the dirtiest jetty -_- (even though we don't see it in this photo) My father was saying he had to come and clean it up a bit to "save face". Haha...
