Melaka

Melaka was the second stop on my journey through Malaysia. It is a relatively small town and one day over there is enough to get a good impression. The interesting part of town is its history, the mediocre Portugese, the heroic Dutch and the brutal British all colonised Melaka and that can be see in the architecture. Another way I figured out old ties is that some words in Malay are very similar to Dutch...

Having seen the Stadhuys and surrounding building and eating some very yummy Indian food made it a worthwile trip. However the next day I have to wake up early as Singapore is the next destination.
