Going South Part1: MELAKA

Last week i have the opportunity to take a short trip to Melaka the UNESCO World heritage city with 2 love birds;). Actually we are on our way to Johor Bahru for a short holiday in Singapore. Melaka has transform completely from the last time I'm there. Melaka town are more beautiful with all the landscape and all the heritage buildings are well preserved. My favourite is Jonker Street and Harmony street in Melaka town. Jonker street is full of character, heritage and culture. Harmony street quiet the same with Jonker street but it got its name because in the short street there is a mosque, a Hindu temple and a Buddha Temple. 3 different religious live harmoniously in one street. Other interesting places that we have is the red Christ Church area,the eye of Melaka, the rotating Taming Sari Tower, Dataran Pahlawan and last but not least the A'Famosa fort. Oh ya...the Melaka river cruise is great. The building and villages around the river is beautiful and soo "Vanice"(quoted from Hanif). Melaka have at least 6 museum and my favorite is the maritime museum situated inside a 1500 replica trading ship.Cool! If you have time, take a ride around Melaka with a beca@trishaw. The trishaw are so cute with all the flowers and accessories. Will definitely come back to this heritage city to fully experience it!
