Another interesting place to go to. I think there would be more to see at the night markets (that is available on every Friday Saturday, Sunday and Public Holiday). Maybe one night in future. So far the 3 trips here were all day trips only.

Sing, Sing A Song
Sunday, 29 March 2009
A good song to sing with your children in the car - "Sing" by the Carpenters.
Sing, sing a song
Sing out loud
Sing out strong
Sing of good things not bad
Sing of happy not sad.
Sing, sing a song
Make it simple to last
Your whole life long
Don't worry that it's not
Good enough for anyone
Else to hear
Just sing, sing a song.
Sing, sing a song
Let the world sing along
Sing of love there could be
Sing for you and for me.
Sing, sing a song
Make it simple to last
Your whole life long
Don't worry that it's not
Good enough for anyone
Else to hear

Hope to visit you again Melaka
Wednesday, 17 May 2006
The sky was clear when we drove out of Melaka, unlike when we were driving into Melaka in the morning. Got a picture of the welcoming (Selamat Datang) arch , since I couldn't when we came because it was raining. I didn't see the words on the opposite side. I guess it is Safe Journey (Selamat Jalan). If I have the opportunity again to visit Malacca, I would love to stay for a few days and explore the city. From the tourist brochure, there are many places of interest in this historical city.
And also the 3 structures standing in line. I think it is special because it represented 3 different races: the Malay, the Chinese and the Portugese (who came to Malacca). I see peace and unity.

An interesting walk through the Jonker Street (Jalan Hang Jebat) - a place of antiques! Saw a lot of westerners!
Trying out some fruity srape ice (mango..........I forgot what is the other two that we ordered!) at one of the shop that sells antiques as well. Not bad! Something different from the usual ice kacang/cendol.

Clogs

As we were walking through a street, a big yellow clog caught my eye! And many other colourful ordinary clogs! Mum used that when I was a little girl but no more.

Museums
Wednesday, 17 May 2006
Malacca (Melaka), here we come! Only a day's visit for the time being! Arrived at the History Museum and Ethnography Museum. Here is Uncle Ni posing in front of it.
Nearby is the Christ Church, which I understood has been there since 1753.
A windmill opposite the road!
Trishaws offering to take you for a ride through Melaka.
Another museum building in the vicinity.
A ship in the middle of the city - a Maritime Museum.
