Looking back at my history class during my primary years, Straits of Malacca was one of the important names in history for it played an essential role in ancient Spice Route. It was then all in the books.. and now, I just hit it.
Melaka (in english, Malacca) is one of the Malayian states which was tagged as World Heritage City by UNESCO (along with Georgetown).

and the colorful TRISHAW. For RM40 (or approximately S$20), you'll get to go around the sites- Dutch Square (where Christ Church is located), Jonker Street, museums, Porta de Santiago, St. Paul's Church, Portugis Settlement (where the infamous San Pedro restaurant and their baked fish can be found), etc. Name it and you'll be there. :-)

Melaka people are very warm and friendly. Not to mention the driver cum guide that we've hired to drive us around. There are a lot of guest houses, hostels and hotels to choose from. A variety of restaurants and dishes to indulge with. Indeed the best place to go to relax and enjoy the countryside.
I'll see you again Melaka.
