Holiday Inn Melaka

Ok, getting bored!! Malacca is great but for 3 or 4 days... or a couple of months but not for a week, hard to explain. There is another reason to leave this place ASAP

I catch the cold so I feel sick!

before coming over to Malaysia I knew I was going to be so very much a lot attracted to the Asia living creatures, I mean women!! yeahhh and actually every single night I'm loved in bed.... by mosquitoes! yes, I'm the ...

... in front of it was the Princess's Secret Garden; but on the information board in front of the garden they admitted that they were not sure if it actually existed, but assumed it did, haha! Chris and Tom wandered around the museum for quite a while, whilst I stood outside taking pictures of the palace and the gardens. I was quite dehydrated at this point, so I didn't feel like going into the museum and reading the information properly. I went in and took a look at the ...

... Het werd dus pizza. Ernst had nergens trek in: behalve dan in stenen gooien in de zorgvuldig aangelegde vijver van het restaurant en héél hard schreeuwn. Uiteindelijk at ie een volledige bananasplit op en was alles weer rustig. Einde avond nog wat gedronken bij een nog niet geopend restaurant van een vriendelijke man die met een Belgische bleek te zijn getrouwd.

... Little Richard, which did nothing for our concentration (or our scores - Clive's excuse!)Have you ever seen a hip swiveling bowler ?

... sound exactly the way they look. And, on top of all that, it's a DAMN EASY language - especially for anyone who's studied phonetics (like an ESL teacher, perhaps?). For example: farmasi is pharmacy, muzium is museum, ais is ice, klinik is clinic. See, very simple. To make it even better, there are no tenses, no articles, and to make something plural, you just say it twice (e.g.: children is kanak-kanak -- same as child-child). Despite all that, I still haven't learned all ...

I woke up this morning at the crack of 8:30, which is way too early having gone to bed at 4, and Dane and I caught an 11:00 bus to the colonial city of Melaka, about 2 hours south of KL on the Indian Ocean/ Strait of Melaka. We made it there by a little after 1PM and commenced our walking tour with the Christ Church of Melaka, that was built by the Dutch, if my memory serves me correctly. From there we wandered through the streets, past the old homes of ...
