On our first day in Penang, we came across this poster pasted on the wall of the kopi shop when we were having our prawn mee for breakfast. There are 10 apprenticeships in traditional trades and crafts that are available:
Songkok Making
Gold/Silversmith
Traditional Chinese Lantern
Carved Signboard
Bamboo Weaver
Nyonya Kebaya
Sculpture for Indian Temple
Handmade Joss Stick
Nyonya Beaded Shoes & Accessories
Mid Autumn Festival Lantern
You can stay a minimun of 6months to 1year to learn the skills. I am thinking if I am to stay in Penang for 10years, i will get to learn the basics of the 10 trades. I will be 37 by then.... ....hmm...
