Malacca Travel Blogs

So after me and the german kid had seen most the things in the city I really just felt like going to the beach. Then he showed me dome brochure about this zoo , reptile park and butterfly park. So I thought the crocodile farm sounded too interesting to miss. Even though I`ve pretty much given up on…

When i was little, my parents always brought me to Malacca, at that age I didn't know how to appreciate the old mansions, the buildings structure & etc... I was running up n down at the Fort A Famosa, climbed up steps to the oldest well, Sam Po Well. "Mom give me some coins"....I asked. Loved t…

We woke-up around 8am, no surprise, with lots of mosquito and bedbug bite in my body! haha.  But Mike got none, and he even managed to sleep well! He was actually snoring a bit loud haha. Then we had our yang chow rice and teh tarik for breakfast, and off we go for another bike rid…

  I was able to get a full first night sleep at the guesthouse where I checked in at Kuala Lumpur. The 35 MR /night room that I took was decent enough and I didn't mind sleeping in that guesthouse(Anjung KL) because it had clean bedsheets, shiny wooden floors, clean wall paint, and …

This city has history of occupation from original Malay settlers to Chinese invaders to Portuguese to Dutch then British. Rightfully so, the city is a tapestry of culture displayed on the churches, ruins and food. The city is too colorful and if you don't believe me, check out the flamboyant tricy…

I was woken up at 4 am by that stupid twat snoring again but I managed to get a toilet roll and throw it at him to disturb him.As you probably know im not very good when people make noise in dorms.I used to be in the navy and if you made noise in those dorms you got punched.Clearly I wasn’t going…

After 3 days kampong Raja, we drove to Ipoh out for lunch and shopping with the famillie. It was a hot day with temperatures of certainly 30 degrees. My brother and I went to Melakka for 3 days. My mother left for a week with my other uncle and aunts. The first week of October there was: Selamat Ha…

23.june.2009I've heard several time about Melaka... so i booked the hostel and planned in into the Asia - trip. We left Singapore around noon and came to Melaka around 15.30. Taxi to the hostel and then to town. Actually the best place is the hostel, coz the guy who's running it seems to care about…

There is so much to see and eat for an overnight stay in this historical town. An amazing place for outdoor photography!

We are coming to the end of our trip in Malaysia and reflecting on a country that was not part of our original itinery, but almost an afterthought.  However, we have enjoyed Malaysia as much as the other Asian countries we have travelled in, despite and probably because, it is so different. T…

The strange mix of old building from around the globe are testament to Melaka's rich history involving Dutch traders, British colonizers, and Chinese immigrants.  In my last entry I said that every city has a Chinatown so KL's did not impress me much.  Melaka's was a different story. …

Melaka is an interesting place. Why? To put it nicely, it has a lot of history. To put it less nicely, it was kind of everyone's bitch. Here's a quick history lesson ... Melaka (or Malacca) was one of the first places in Malaysia where any really important people from Indonesia settled (a Su…
