Searching for wall murals is a pastime that I like to indulge in. It is an activity that can be participated by the whole family, young and old.

  1. I have saw you post the graffiti in Taiping. The paint in Kuala Kangsar more towards kampung style.

  2. Lovely murals! They are very Instagrammable! I remembered the Ihwa Mural Village I visited in Korea. Great find! Thanks for sharing. <3

  3. I love how murals reflect the social and political history of the area as well as providing an outlet for new artistic talent. Great post!
