We rented a car and drove to the ancient Malay city of
Malacca. Malacca was one of the greatest trading ports in Southeast
Asia. This port town has alot of history, including colonization by the
Portuguese (in 1511), Dutch, and British throughout the years. The town has
European architchture that makes you feel like you are not in SE Asia,
then the sweat beads form on your brow, and the Hello Kitty rickshaws zoom by
playing Gangnam style music remind you, you are nowhere near Holland.
