Sorry, I meant the city of Georgetown, on the island of Penang, Malaysia.
Not totally "first world," but just enough to qualify.
Love the place.
What? Let's see this Pulau Pinang pano. This looks nothing like 1st world, honestly. It resembles to some African capitals, and the traffic and street chaos is present at such a high distance! It's 2nd world.

I don't know what should be the look and feel of 1st world, since the european, american and developed asian cities look nothing alike. That city causes me a impression to be generic. It could be located anywhere in the world.

Have you been to Penang? The traffic is no different to that of Sydney. It is nothing like Vietnam, as an example. Everyone drives in their lane and observes the road rules. Malaysia is a middle income country on the world scale. It is an excellent place to travel, as an aside.
George Town, Penang is a charming city and popular with foreign including Western retirees. What problems it has are more First world issues and rather a stand out place in the region.
As stated above, Malaysia in general is an easy and pleasant place to travel with a lot of western trappings making it a perfect introduction to Asia for the less 'adventuress' .
