So on my real first day in Melaka/Malacca, Malaysia, I just walked and walked and kept walking. It’s a small town and walkable but there is the heat and the humidity issue so it can be tiring though the humidity probably was not at its highest for this time of the year.
After having gone through Portuguese, Dutch & British (& Japanese though it doesn’t count for purposes of this post) occupations, the houses/buildings that line the streets of Melaka are an interesting mix with much Chinese presence.
