Day 2, we went to a UNESCO World Heritage Site: Melaka. .

The Melaka River which flows through the middle of the city, was a vital trade route during the heyday of Melaka Sultanatein the 15th century.
I had no expectation (or set my expectation low) when taking the cruise. It turned out the cruise trip was a nice one.
There's a narration sound from a machine accompanying us during the trip, explaining whatsoabout of the city and buildings by the river.
The river was clean! well, not that blue or turqoise clean, but I think the color of a river really depends on the soil structure surrounding it.

The Stadthuys aka city hall. WHY I just learned it today that the name is Stadthuys, a dutch spelling.
It is a historical structure situated in the heart of Melaka, in a place known as the Red Square.
The Stadthuys is known for its red exterior and nearby red clocktower. It was built by the Dutch in 1650 as the office of the Dutch Governor and Deputy Governor.

Originally painted white, the church and the neighbouring Stadthuys building (see previous post) was painted red in 1911.

Jonker Walk.
The night market is recommended by many people. But we came at noon, so we couldnt see it. However, it's still very lively and you could see many things in this china town.
History from Wiki:
During the Dutch Malacca, servants and subordinates of Dutch colonialists used to live at the nearby Heeren Street. However, as the Dutch left, it became noblemen's street.
Rich Peranakans started to live and did business within the street area, giving the street a deep-rooted ethnic and cultural flavour.

*Bersih-bersih debu*. Hey, I'm back! It's been more than 2 months since the last time I updated my Instagram feed.
And here I am, still struggling to finish this Melaka travelog. Lol. Don't worry, the chapter is going to end soon. The next ones are inpatiently waiting.
So, this photo was taken in a shop in Melaka, very artsy one. Somehow the #keepgoing writing is very appropriate with #mentalhealthawareness week.

One of the reasons why this spot was selected for photo taking: since the color of my attires matched the color of wall and floor. lol.
Also me: trying so hard to make my shoes not touching the wall.

Our hotel was located quite near from a mosque. It was the largest mosque in KL before the Masjid Negara was built. It's also one of the oldest in KL. Actually, the size of the mosque, with 1000 people capacity, is not that large, .
