This post is long overdued as one week has passed since returning from Malacca. The heat was scorching over at Malacca. I had a tan but not too obvious though. I guess it's a result of us walking over long distances under the sun. We really walked ALOT. We went everywhere by foot. Imagine walking 20mins to reach our destination and a couple more hours walking while doing sightseeing.

Haha I would grab at every chance to enter an air-conditioned place and find a seat (Haha I can so imagine Ching giggling when she reads this :D). I didn't expect myself to know my way around Malacca that much! I was amazed by my sense of direction over there :p

I saw alot of old and new sights of Malacca intertwining together. At this instance, you see old streets lining up with Peranakan houses with real old couples living in them and at the next instance, you are greeted by sights of "new tourism". We took a river cruise and 2 words screamed at me immediately - staged authenticity. The sight of "traditional houses" totally exemplifies these 2 words.
