The Historic State @ Malacca 2011
Date Photos Taken: 14 May 2011 (Saturday)
Two day one night trip to Malacca for family event. A long drive from Penang to Malacca, almost 6-7 hours of journey. I had been more than 10 years never been there. The city look different now, but the historic stuff still nicely preserve.
#1 Gate of A Famosa, at middle low of photo. (I checked wikipedia, A Famosa mean “The Famous” in Portuguese)

#2 Dutch Cannon gun – I known it a replica.

#3 Christ Church, or Red Church - a working Anglican church.

More photos after link
#4 Muzium Pemerintahan Demokrasi (Democratic Government Museum) - I don’t know what is it… Google it, I found JayceOoi.com post, haha. It a museum with information of Malaysia’s past and present governance with exclusive attention on its practice of democracy.

#5 Statue Saint Francis Xavier - the right arm missing!! By the way, not Professor X :)

古城馬六甲,好久沒去走走看看了。。。。
the beauty of it in Melaka is the heritage and simplicity…the shops are still old style although their biz are good..
suha, agree – the heritage and simplicity make it interesting.. Although it a small city, but it quite happening.
I do not go to Malacca since long long time ago..more than 10 years…
Same to me… It really change a lot, compare to 10 years ago. Pay a visit when you back Malaysia.
Nice! So long never visit Melaka already, I still remember when the waitress in the chicken rice ball restaurant took our order, I pointed at the other table’s chicken rice ball and told the waitress , “I want that fishball dish.” Then the waitress replied me with serious face, “Oh! That is not fishball, that is the chicken rice ball.” Hahaha… really pai seh lor!!!
Really paiseh wo… haha. Anyway, it taste pretty good!
Great set of photos! The use of light, contrast and tones is great! It looks like a great place to visit. I’ll have to add it to my lists of must sees.
Thank Marke.
