Visited an exhibition featuring United Buddy Bears at Esplanade, Penang. Of the 146 bears from Berlin in Germany, 140 represent countries in the United Nations while six are general ones.
The bears have been exhibited since 2002 and travelled to five continents covering cities such as Astana, Berlin, Buenos Aires, Cairo, Havana, Helsinki, Hong Kong, Istanbul, Jerusalem, Montevideo, New Delhi, Paris, Pyongyang, Rio de Janeiro, Seoul, St. Petersburg, Sydney Tokyo, Vienna and Warsaw to promote tolerance and understanding.
It was last exhibited at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur in 2011.
