Melaka

Spent 3 nights in Melaka Malaysia.  Stayed in the old town which is a UNESCO heritage site.  The UN heritage stamp of approval may be a bit much, although probably a good thing so the area is protected.  Nevertheless it is a charming area full of low level buildings and a living breathing Chinatown frequented by the locals.  The key to Melaka's old town is that it still lives for the locals and is not a tourist zone only.

There is an interesting canal which winds through the city and has a walkway along it.  It is a great walk late at night.  Everywhere I was able to get to feels really safe.

This was a good introduction to Malaysia....the people were friendly and ready to talk and say hello, the locals are sophisticated and hip enough to keep things interesting, and generally the Malaysians are pretty colourful and appear confident and happy.

This dog wanted to bite me so badly I almost wish I could of let him

Lovely canal winds through the length of the city

Countless tourist boats pass by in the evening

Lovely Melaka
