Part of it was filmed in a UNESCO Heritage hotel, formerly a rich man's house called Cheong Fatt Tze, located in Penang.<BR/><BR/>In case you're interested.Ah Lenghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16955496299032074166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15914227.post-50191237819516166282007-09-29T21:13:00.000+08:002007-09-29T21:13:00.000+08:00Can visit, cannot stay.
