Shopping
Penang is not exactly a shoppers paradise, but there are potentially some interesting things to buy depending on your tastes. In the malls and shops around the base of the Komtar, you'll find cameras, electronics, clothes and pirated software. Along Jalan Penang heading away from the Komtar towards the Eastern & Oriental hotel, you'll find shops selling luggage, the old wet market, Indian saris and assorted local handicrafts.
