One of the things we love about Penang is how open it is to all different cultures. This place is a melting pot of people from all over the world which is part of the reason why we have so many holidays. The main population consists of Chinese, Indian, and Malay so we celebrate all their holidays as National holidays.
We recently learned that the Chinese characters for good are 好 pronounced hǎo which means "Good". The word good consists of two radicals 女 (nǔ) which means daughter or girl and 子 (zǐ) which stands for son or child. So when you have a girl and a boy (or a boy and a girl) Chinese people say you've done good!
