VINTAGE CAMERA | 槟城相机博物馆 The Camera Museum Penang

槟城有许多特色博物馆，关于相机收藏就有两间，一是亚洲相机博物馆，二是这篇帖子要介绍的东南亚首创槟城相机博物馆。虽然说一山不能藏二虎，但这两间都各有重点特色，两者都值得付费一探究竟。

槟城相机博物馆座落在百年双层老建筑，珍藏的古董相机为老屋注入了新的生命力，四周弥漫一股怀旧流浪的气息。展览厅重点收藏了从十八世纪开始使用的珍贵相机，我们在小小的空间里跟着时间的进程观看相机的演变，仿佛瞬间回到了年代久远的旧时光，关于童年的菲林相机回忆也蹦了出来。展区摆放部分古董相机供参观者把玩，体验其操作方式与原理；针孔房里的巨大相机内部世界颠倒又迷幻；经典间谍相机收藏则能让我们窥探电影里间谍世界的惊险乐趣。

Recently, Penang has lots of unique theme museum open up. There are 2 museum is based on camera theme which is Asia Camera Museum and another one that we want to introduce to you guys today which is The Camera Museum. There can't be two tigers in one territory, but both were equally good and have their very different selling point. We were willing to visit this 2 museum for sure. 

The Camera Museum is located at a double story century old building in Georgetown area. All the antique camera kept in it give this old building a new life. The environment has a nostalgic feel too. They have collected the entire camera starting from 18th century till now. It was like walking in a time tunnel back to ancient time to see how they use those cameras at that moment. It’s also brings back a lot of childhood memories where those film camera was so hit at that time. There also an area in the hall where you can play with the ancient camera. Their staff will teach you how to use it and also the theory behind it. While in the pinhole room, you can experience walking into a huge camera and see everything is upside down inside the camera. Unique collection – The Spy Room brings you to the spy movie such as Mission Impossible or James Bond 007 where all the spy gadget was used. It is so much fun to learn about it and see how small a spy camera can go.

ENCHANTED GARDEN | 槟城热带香料花园 Penang Tropical Spice Garden

热带香料花园里头种有大约五百余类植物，产自马来西亚和世界其它热带地区。这个花园的建成不是一早一夕，是从一片橡胶种植地演变而来的，所有的香料植物都以最自然的方式在大环境生长，经历了无数个日子才能成为集旅游和学习和研究的自然景观，如今，园里还留有部分橡胶树让旅人遮阴避阳。另一个让人印象深刻的花园里的流水贯穿整个自然生态，曲折的潺潺小溪，花草丰盛滋满，耳中流水悠悠其实就是自然与心灵的相互回应。

Tropical spice garden contain around 500 different kinds of plants that came from our own Malaysia and also other tropical area. This garden does not build in a short period of time. It is all originated from a rubber plantation. All the plants were growth in the most natural way and environment where the plants can growth healthy. So, it does really take quite some times to become the spice garden that we can visit and learn from.  Now there are still some rubber trees that act as shades which creates a nice environment for us to visit. Another impressive thing to look at is the winding steam, the boat that harbor on the lake and also the blossom of the plants. Everything is so pure and clean here where make your mind become as such.

MY FASCINATING PENANG 2015 | 槟城5天4夜旅行路线 Penang 5 Days 4 Nights Travel Guide

引用周国平《把心安顿好》的一段话作为这趟旅程的开场白。

“世上有一样东西，比任何别的东西都更忠诚于你，那就是你的经历。你生命中的日子，你在其中遭遇的人和事，你因这些遭遇产生的悲欢、感受和思考，这一切仅仅属于你，不可能转让给任何别人，哪怕是你最亲近的人。这是你最珍贵的财富。”

出发去旅行了。生活暂时脱离枯燥的常态，脱离熟悉无趣的的场景人物，面对新奇的陌生事物，你会渐渐发现自己不为人知的另一面，那种原始自由得无拘无束的疯狂面。这几天，走出去把自己放在晨光和煦下感受岁月静好的永恒，放在海滩任风吹散吹远烦恼的发丝，放在古旧街道看一座岛屿日升日落的苏醒与沉睡，抬头望向浩瀚无际的夜空深处，总是有许多未知晓的前路等着我们去发现和探寻。

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain

Let’s the journey begin. It’s time to put down everything and pursue on a trip that you dream about. Travel is to force you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort of home and friends. Instead of thinking how the trip may be, made your first step and see them as they are. A journey is like marriage. The certain way to be wrong is to think you control it. That’s the reason why we keep on tell ourselves that a good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving. So, is time to TAKE A BREAK and discover. Travel as much as you can, as far as you can, as long as you can. Life not meant to be fixed in a one place.

I caught the happy virus last night
When I was out singing beneath the stars.
It is remarkably contagious
