Architecture around old Georgetown - a 'rojak' of styles

Rojak is a traditional local mixed fruit and vegtable salad. Variations of the dish can be found in Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore. In the Malay language, rojak means 'mixture.'

Old Georgetown is an eclectic mix of modern and old-world architecture. Wandering around Georgetown brings me back to the environment of my childhood.
