Thanks, iRobotic. Appreciate your comment.
This place is so unusual. Photos r great.
Jonker St, Melaka is my favorite town in my country. People are laid back and friendly. Drop by there if you’re in Malaysia. Thanks!
Melaka is a interesting place. I like it very much when i visited there. You captured the essence of Melaka very well like how i remembered it. Nice photography.
Hi Niklas,
Glad you like the pictures. Before going to Melaka I searched online for its images but didn’t find much pictures of Melaka as I expected. So I went there with a purpose, to bring back as much photos in that short day trip possible, sort of to do justice to Melaka’s rightful beauty.
Come visit the site again in 2 weeks time, I hope to have new post out by then of Hat Yai & Krabi, Thailand!
Cheers!
