Penang Bon Odori was held on 16 July 2011 at The Esplanade next to Fort Cornwallis. It was a grand event and if I am not mistaken, Penang Bon Odori received an overwhelming response from Malaysians, Japanese and as well as foreign tourists. Most of the feedback for this event were rather positive. Another successful and great event in Penang. Bon Odori is just like Hungry Ghost festival in Malaysia but it is an event to honor the spirits of one's ancestors. Bon Odori is a kind of dance. This event attracted a lot of Japanese to Penang just to celebrate this event. Besides exploring the culture of the Japanese, you can try a lot of Japanese and local food. For those who missed out this year Bon Odori, make sure you mark your calendar and visit Bon Odori next year!
